Nora to Toki no Koubou: Kiri no Mori no Majo English translation
ノーラと刻の工房 霧の森の魔女 · Nora and the Time Studio: The Witch of the Misty Forest
A fan translation of Atlus and Index's charming DS workshop RPG about a young witch, with its script and most of its graphics now in English.
What's translated
The project led by Darukeru covers both the text and the graphics of Nora and the Time Studio. Adventure and event dialogue, battle and inventory menus, the request screens and the status screen are in English, along with buttons and other on-screen artwork that had Japanese lettering. The translation started as an alpha in 2020 and grew through several 0.3 releases.
Recent versions
Version 0.3d-1 (October 2022) removed a built-in anti-piracy fix that clashed with some flashcarts and offered it as a separate optional patch instead, and fixed a freeze in the alphabetical item guide on flashcarts. Version 0.3d-2, posted in 2026, revises some of the script and also comes in a build for use with RetroAchievements.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own clean, untrimmed dump of the Japanese cartridge using the patching scripts included in the release (Windows, Linux and Mac), following the instructions on the project page. The optional anti-piracy fix is only needed on some flashcarts.
