Depersonalization Reviews

"Engrish" translation

The other reviews appear to discuss an English translation that, as far as I can tell, *does not exist*. I've installed this a couple of times but there is no English mode available anywhere that I can find. Lacking the ability to read the language the game is actually in, I'm stuck with attempting to refund it since nowhere in the purchase flow did it say 'hey this game isn't in English, are you sure' the way it usually does with games that don't have any English available.+

I would say if you don't care for its auto generated English text and want the art and game-play it's great fun, but for characters talking and story info its bad in English, I heard it gets harder in some spots and easy to understand in others. A fine example is I had a character say "Don' t aren' t" to me with those large spaces between the commas included. I will 100% change my review if proper English translation is added. Team is small so I shall wait but in all is a fun game :D

This a real hidden gem. While the base game is it really great, this actual closer to a game engine. If only the English support is better, Many modders will create lot of Story.

[Review written in response to first two modules] Depersonalization is an anthology game featuring a central hub connecting each 'unrelated' story. The main character, Anan, gives up his memories in order to transpose himself into a character in each story and fix whatever weird occult shit is going on. The modules remind me strongly of classic rpgmaker horror/adventure games like Ib, Alicemare, LiEat. You talk to characters, you collect items, you occasionally fight, fulfill miniquests, and progress in unlocking each module's mystery. Modules have multiple endings and are worth going back to experience. Traits and special items gained from modules can be carried over to others, allowing for a sense of progress. This is a game made for people who enjoy searching for every bit of dialogue and completing every ending. English localization is 99.9% fine from what I've seen in the first two modules, nothing reads machine generated/translated. The only thing to note is that there's no clear way to change languages when starting up the game (hint: second option on menu screen, first toggle option. I also had to press the 'a' button for English to even be an option)

I want to like it but the translation is too poor for me to be able to make sense. I cannot recommend this game until the developer improve the translation. might refund the game and wait for better translation update. for now I will give it more try.
