Another Time Another Leaf NDS

[AdrianMorales]

Killaware is a young game studio that was created by former ATLUS employees Kazuhiro Yamao, who also worked at Capcom and Virgin Interactive, and Kiyotaka Ueda. Lux-Pain on the Nintendo DS was their first internationally released title, but a poor internal localisation (think of ‘all your base are belong to us’ script) crippled the game and led to not so favorable reviews. Fortunately, Killaware has moved on since then and proof of that is their newest title under the name of Another Time Another Leaf: Kagami no Naka no Tantei also known as Another Time Another Leef: The Detective in The Mirror. The title is a visual novel-type adventure video game developed for the Nintendo DS.

The story follows 15 years old honour student Kaede who is entrusted with a little box upon her mother’s death. By opening it, she finds a mirror and within that mirror she discovers her doppelganger by the name of Akeha.
While Kaede is quiet and serious, Akeha is completely different and how you control these two characters will be vital in your ongoing investigations.
Akehas’ ability to go back in the past and gather information and Kaede’s serious attitude and eye for detail come into play as strange things start happening at school. Together they must visit crime scenes and talk to related people in order to collect clues and solve the mystery.

According to gamespy, the game features two unique systems of gameplay.
Using the "Cut and Action system", players can take certain parts of a conversation or an observation about special objects and put the information in a "stock pile" to review for important clues later on. Players can also use the "Toki Moving" system that allows players to jump back in time whenever time is mentioned in a conversation by using the heroine's special mirror.

I ask ATLUS USA to take a look at this game and decide whether it is something that they would like to localise or not. I would really hate to have another great game spoiled by a bad translation.

Looks interesting, want it.

If you didn't already, you should ask to Aksys (aka Arc System Works USA).

Exactly. It's like asking for a Konami game on the Capcom board.

The art style is kinda cool and I'd pick this up if its localized (no matter who does it).

I saw this awhile ago. Would totally support it.

But, Lux-Pain's localization was not that bad. All your base are belong to us does not describe it. It's more like:
"We are going to the Nurse office. Atsuki (you) is coming, right?"

Don't you mean Burse Office?


And to the rest of the guys: take note that ATLUS USA is releasing Metal Slug XX next month. Anything is possible.

When I saw that circle, I immediately thought of King of Fighters. :P
