✨ New features

  • **Colored Speaker Tags**: All dialogue subtitles now feature unique colored speaker tags, allowing players to not only remember character names but also more easily understand dialogue when encountering multiple NPCs in the DLC
  • **Spoiler-Proof Design**: When a character has not yet revealed their name to the player, the speaker label will show **? :**, to minimize spoilers for new players
  • **Contextual enhancement**: Add specific context to sounds such as gasps, exclamations, etc. instead of simple **...** or blank subtitles
  • **Speaking Rhythm Match**: Add pauses to sentences to match the rhythm and energy of speaking
  • **Standardized Format**: Punctuation and capitalization of all dialogue lines have been standardized
  • **Bug Fix**: Fixed multiple existing grammar, punctuation and spelling errors
  • **Optional Typesetting Editing**: Contains optional files for further typesetting editing done by jn64

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
