🎎 Background description
Sekiro has a rich storyline and vivid cultural landscape, but the original localization suffered from some confusing translation choices. Japanese is a language that relies heavily on context, and it is difficult to accurately convey the original meaning of the game without context.
🔄 Improvement Highlights
- **Name Correction**: Changed "Eternal Sakura Dragon" to "Sakura Dragon" (a more direct translation)
- **Creature Name**: Changed "lion ape" to "lion monkey" (based on the real Japanese macaque species)
- **Dialogue Optimization**: numerous punctuation and grammar fixes
- **Sound effect enhancement**: Add appropriate sound effect description
💡 Usage suggestions
**It is strongly recommended to use Japanese dubbing**, because the dialogue content has been adjusted according to the Japanese voice rhythm, and using English dubbing may affect the game experience.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
