Alien- Isolation Profanity Filter

Alien: Isolation Profanity Filter

Silences spoken English profanity in Alien: Isolation's voice-over and censors it in subtitles, mission logs, terminal text, and UI strings. The story, the performances, the tension, and the gameplay are untouched.

Who is this for?

• []Streamers and content creators — capture footage for Twitch / YouTube / shorts without bleeping audio or cutting around strong language.[/]

  []Playing around family — kids in the next room, parents visiting, partner working nearby — when headphones aren't practical and the room shouldn't hear every line.[/]

  []Personal preference — some people just don't enjoy strong language in their downtime. This mod is an optional content-preference toggle, not a statement about how the game should be played.[/]

  The rest of the game — story, voice acting, atmosphere, and gameplay — is untouched. Only the flagged words change.

  What this mod does

  • []Audio: 815 English voice clips — only the profane word is silenced; the rest of the line, the performance, and the subtitle stay intact. Voice files are re-encoded to the game's original Wwise V62 Vorbis format and the same clip length, so timing is preserved.[/]

    []Text: 1,205 censors across 48 English . TXT files — subtitles, mission briefing logs, readable terminal text, and UI strings. Same-length asterisks replace flagged words.[/]

    []English only — non-English text and audio are left as-is.[/]

    []Single-player only — your saves are unaffected.[/]

    []Note: Cutscene FMV audio is not in scope for this release.[/]

    How the installer works

    This download ships no modified game files. You download one small .exe; it re-creates the edits on your own installed copy. The installer carries only the edit recipe (which words to mask, and the exact time windows in each voice clip) plus a few small open-source tools. Nothing from Alien: Isolation is bundled in the download.

    After:   "We're going to * die here, aren't we?"  (only "" is silent)

    Before:  terminal text with the S-word

    After:   "We are so , it's not even funny."

    Before:  mission log with a slur

    After:   "The stupid s left us behind."

    Installation

    • []Close Alien: Isolation if it's running (and let Steam or GOG Galaxy finish any pending update).[/]

      []Download and run alien-isolation-profanity-filter.exe.[/]

      []First run only: Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt because the app isn't code-signed — click "More info" → "Run anyway". It's an unsigned indie tool; see "Is it safe?" below.[/]

      []The installer auto-detects your Steam or GOG install. If it can't, click Browse… and select your Alien: Isolation folder (the one containing AlienIsolation.exe or AI.exe).[/]

      []Click Apply filter. Your original files are backed up automatically before any change is made. Both the text censoring and the audio fix apply in well under a minute — the audio fix is a small pre-computed binary patch, not a live re-encode.[/]

      []Launch Alien: Isolation through Steam or GOG Galaxy as normal.[/]

      Tested against: Alien: Isolation on Steam (appid 214490) and GOG, Wwise bank version 88 (2014.x CATHODE runtime). The installer verifies your files before changing anything and stops safely on an unrecognized build.

      Uninstall

      • []Restore button: open the installer again and click Restore original — it puts your backed-up files back. Works any time after you've applied the filter (even after a reboot).[/]

        []Steam: Properties → Installed Files → "Verify integrity of game files" — Steam re-downloads the originals.[/]

        []GOG Galaxy: Manage installation → Verify / Repair.[/]

        ---

        Is it safe?

        []SmartScreen warning: The .exe is not code-signed (code-signing certificates cost ~$300–$500/yr). SmartScreen flags any unsigned executable from an unknown publisher. The tool is safe; the warning is about the signature, not the content.[/]

        []No game bytes redistributed: The download contains zero modified or extracted game fi
