Human Entertainment’s cult classic PlayStation 1 game about a group of girls investigating urban legends in their home town. Known in the West for being heavily referenced in Danganronpa 2. Can you believe it’s never been fan translated!? Someone’s gotta do it, and that someone is me.

Telefang

Telefang

A personality-packed monster collecting game for the Game Boy Color. You don’t catch the monsters – you make friends with ‘em and get their phone numbers. I’m working on this both as a hacker and the main translator!
