📋 About This Mod
A re-translated version of the game, aiming to change the localization with something more akin to the original japanese text.
All the info I've gathered mostly come from the spreadsheet made by user Ikkoru on reddit (thank you for all the hard work!), I merely changed the game descriptions and dialogue texts based on his and other users' translations. Note that I didnt change everything based on what it says there, putting some of my own interpretation in it.

By the way, I am in no way fluent in japanese, so if you find something that's wrong or out of place you can add your contribution to the spreadsheets and
I'll upload the mod with the new info.
Thank you and enjoy!
