Snatcher English translation

What's translated

This is the PC Engine CD edition of pepa's Snatcher translation, which already covers the PlayStation and Saturn versions. The script was translated fresh from the Japanese, starting from a machine translation that was then reworked and reviewed by hand, with the Sega CD localization used only as a reference for terminology. Dialogue, narration, menus, the keyboard, typed puzzles and the graphics with writing in them are in English. The Japanese voice acting is kept, with subtitles for voiced scenes and for the spoken CD audio tracks, and names follow the Japanese so the text matches what you hear. A halfwidth font fits two letters into each character cell of the dialogue box.

Version 1.5.2

The first update fixes freezes when skipping the opening and at the start of Act 2, repairs several pictures that drew incorrectly and adds a missing set of subtitles.

Playing it

The game needs the Super System Card 3.0 or later. The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on the GitHub page, where the PlayStation and Saturn patches live too.
