EDIT: I would like to apologize for any problems encountered in the patch from here on. I welcome any kind of help and advice on the errors. As of now, I could no longer be of help to fix the errors as I’ve ran out of ideas as of how to fix them. I am so sorry.

EDIT 2: I’m working on fixing the patch at the moment, so if you have many save files up to Asagi’s route, please send them to me at mochiipenguin(at)gmail(dot)com!!! Hopefully I’ll be able to fix this by early March. So sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll check your errors in the comments and get to fixing. Thank you!

EDIT 3: The fixed patch is now uploaded. Please read the readme file that comes with the patch. Thank you.

Hello, everyone. I’m happy to announce that the English Patch for Ayakashi Gohan is now complete!

Instructions:

Download the English patch files here or mirror link here. (these are called “Rio.arc” and “Rio+.arc” files). Instructions are included in the readme text file. The image & menu translations file here on GDrive or on mediafire (this is called chip.arc) or optionally , if you have a slow connection and can’t download huge files, you can just download the English patch file above, and the image&menu translations in .pngs and .jpgs here (please keep in mind that this is also only 40% translated).

(If you just newly installed the game, please remember to follow the backing up instructions in the readme file. If you’re updating the patch and you do not have the original files, you can get them here.)

Notes:

Make sure to follow the instructions in the readme file to avoid some translations reverting back to Japanese.

Starting two routes simultaneously even with different save files is not recommended. Go for one character at a time.

You will encounter an error during or at the end of your playthrough (sorry about that). When this happens, you can try one of these fixes:

1. follow the instructions in the readme file (thank you Yushi), or

2. if it doesn’t work, follow the instructions here. (Thank you kindly!), or

3. play using the original chip.arc that you’ve backed up and download image&menu translations in .pngs and .jpgs at above link (leave the Rio.arc and Rio+.arc as they are).

1. follow the instructions in the readme file (thank you Yushi), or 2. if it doesn’t work, follow the instructions here. (Thank you kindly!), or 3. play using the original chip.arc that you’ve backed up and download image&menu translations in .pngs and .jpgs at above link (leave the Rio.arc and Rio+.arc as they are). To update the patch (if any), just replace the old ones with the updated ones. Afterwards, please play the game from the “Start” in the main screen after applying the updated patch instead of loading from a save file to avoid crashes.

Asagi ending’s text-skipping has now been fixed.

Please inform me of any other errors or text-skippings and provide me with details as much as possible.

Additional notes:

No copyright infringement intended.

The only way for the other characters to say Rin’s name is by letting the default kanji on it, which is “凛”. If you don’t mind about name pronouncation, then you can use your own name for it, no problem.

Some text are so long they actually went over the textbox, but you can read it fully in the textlog.

Please excuse some awkward translations or grammar/spelling errors here and there. ;;;

If you downloaded the chip.arc, you’ll notice that the “shortcuts” part actually shows the translations of other menu titles (those things on the upper right). Hopefully those will help you a bit!

To set the game to full-screen (if you’d like to):

Updating a patch and reloading your save file will crash your game so always ‘Start’ from the main menu if you could. However, as of date, there will be no more updates for the patch so don’t worry about it.

Credits:

I would like to thank each and every one of you; the ones who helped translating, translation-checking, proofreading, re-inserting, script editing and those who helped with image-editing and game-programming — it’s been a long, windy and harsh road but you guys helped me through finishing this patch even though you all have your own problems and struggles to go through, and that’s what makes this journey of finishing the patch very meaningful to me. You all are such helpful, nice people! I can’t thank you guys enough but I just want you all to know that I appreciate all and everything that you’ve done; it means a lot to me.

And to the precious ones who encourage us, giving us lots of support, feedback and love through the ups and downs, even from back then with Amnesia, and now until the completion of Ayakashi Gohan. Thank you so so so much, everyone! You guys are the best. I love you and may God bless us all. //bows//

That said, I’d also like to apologize for any misgivings and shortcomings on my side, or if I ever offended any of you, or if this patch doesn’t meet your expectations. We’ve tried our very best so we really hope you could enjoy this game to the fullest. Please support the original creators by buying the game!

We hope you have fun. We welcome any kind of feedback (emails or comments), and you can also include a game title that you might want us to pick up in the future. We can’t promise anything as this is a very busy time for all of us, and we don’t know when we will ever pick up another project in the future, but we’ll probably look into it. :3

Again, if there is any major error, please tell us asap so we can fix it! This is our very first released project so please go easy on us~

Thank you all and see you around~! ❤
