Twilight Syndrome: Kinjirareta Toshi Densetsu English translation
トワイライトシンドローム 禁じられた都市伝説
A full English translation of the 2008 DS entry in the Twilight Syndrome horror series, with a new Latin font, redrawn item screens and translated phone mails.
What's translated
The patch covers the whole script, more than 6,600 lines of dialogue, menus and system messages, moved into free space so longer English lines don't have to be cut down. The game's font had almost no Latin letters, so a full alphabet was drawn in its pixel style. Character name tags, the 38 inventory item screens, the story and ending selection cards, the save menu, the rumor cards, the in-game phone mails and screens, and the story intro posters were all redrawn in English. Version 1.5.4 also translates the photos of phone mails that appear inside cutscenes.
The same project includes a Spanish translation as a separate patch.
How it was made
The script was partly machine translated and then reviewed and rewritten by the author, with several full passes comparing it line by line against the Japanese text and checking it against real playthroughs.
Playing it
