Private Eye Dol English translation
プライベート・アイ・ドル · Private Eyedol
Supper's full English translation of Private Eye Dol, a polished late PC Engine CD detective adventure with full voice acting.
About the patch
Supper handled both the hacking and the translation, with cccmar and Xanathis testing. Version 1.0, released in January 2023, translates the whole game.
The game
May Star's TV special on a remote island turns into a crime scene, and with help from her friend Ayaka and the prototype AI assistant Navi she has to work out who is lying. Instead of moving through menus like most Japanese detective games, you walk around the locations yourself, and the dialogue boxes use enlarged text for shouts and surprises, which the patch reproduces in English.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the readme on Supper's page. The tools are on GitHub.
