Policenauts English translation

ポリスノーツ

JunkerHQ's complete English translation of Hideo Kojima's space-colony detective adventure on PlayStation, voice scenes and videos included.

The game

Policenauts mixes point-and-click investigation with occasional shooting scenes. Jonathan Ingram, one of the first police officers sent to work in space, was lost in an accident and drifted for a quarter of a century. Back on Earth, his ex-wife asks him to find her missing husband, and the trail leads to the colony where he once served.

What's translated

The team behind policenauts.net translated every line of the two-disc PlayStation version: dialogue, the subtitles for voiced scenes and full-motion video, the minigames and the credits. Marc Laidlaw translated the script and Michael Sawyer led the project. Graphics with Japanese text were redrawn, a few small mistakes in the original were fixed, character captions can be switched off, and a dialogue choice that was locked in the Japanese release is available.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copies of both discs following the creators' readme. The project's patch page also lists the later Sega Saturn release.
