ACT [八角家] ハチナ怪異譚 (RJ431925)


And going by the patterns on their clothing they're part of the same faction as the hypnosis devices. Dev continues to be incredibly based.
 
Seems like an English version might actually be released from the get-go, assuming there is no problem.
God I hope so. I played the first game with and without a translation. Having actual descriptions and context makes everything so much better.
 
Sure would suck if it was a DLsite Machine Translation! :)
Purely personal opinion here, but I will always happily take a barely understandable mtl over no translation, especially with mind control and other fetishes that are less show and more tell in how they're depicted. Like yeah, just watching a girl's eyes glaze over and go blank while a second girl fingers her is hot, but you know whats even better? Watching that happen while knowing what the other girl is whispering into her ear as she sinks deeper, understanding what commands are slipping into her head. Being able to read the text adds so much to games like this for me, it's just not the same without the extra context that the text provides.

yeah sure, but because it's machine translation the sentence is completely incoherent and makes absolutely no sense, even if it's close you ended up trying to understand what the text suppose to means, eventually your brain went from horny mode to trying-to-understand mode, it just a turn off if you ask me.
i pick raw all day over incoherent dialogue, at least even if i don't understand what they said i could still make up the dialogue in my mind

Hard disagree.
It's VERY rare for a game that already has a translation to get a second one, even if the existing "translation" is an unreadable mess that breaks the game.
I can think of ONE time that a game got a re-translation by a fan for quality's sake (Taima Miko Yuugi), and otherwise any "re-translation" was usually done because a different publisher bought the game and either MTL'd it a second time or stole an old fan translation of the game.

If a game doesn't have a translation at all, there's still the chance that some impassioned person would make their own in the future.
MTLs remove that, and replace it with a bad translation.
 
Its a shame the japanese language shares he and she in the same language when talking about gender. to many times do a character call a girl a "he" and theres no way for the translation software to ever know what gender its specifically talking about.

Interesting, I'd noticed that with mtls but didn't realise that was the reason. Maybe one day we'll have AI that can take context into account, but otherwise thats always going to be a human translation only feature. I suppose you could default to they/them pronouns or some other gender neutral set as a one-size-fits-all, but thats still not ideal.

Yeah I'd have to say no thanks to that, getting a "it puts the lotion on its skin" vibe from a machine translation honestly sounds worse than goofing up the gender
 
Played the trial from dlsite, I find it annoying that you are put at the beginning of the stage if you load a save file. Also a bug with the cave boss that if you spam the rock platform gimmick, the boss would be launch out of screen and stuck at the entrance where you came from which has a flame pillar blocking it from returning,

Edit: Is the dlsite trial stop at the
blond girl
boss?

Yea, it stops after the cutscene with the boss, there was a save file on here somewhere, where you can experience the H scene with the boss before the battle though.
