It’s finally here – on this White Day, the Hakuo Gakuen team is proud to present: an English patch of Hakuouki SSL!
We wouldn’t have thought that, over half a year ago, we would be able to bring the entirety of the game’s story into English and have it be playable on a PS Vita. But as we steadily made progress on translating the vast number of scripts in the game, eventually getting working versions of the patch on our own Vitas for testing, it became clearer and clearer to us that we were going to bring something exciting to the table for otome game fans everywhere.
There are countless many people we’re thankful for – translators, proofreaders, and beta testers alike – all without whom none of this would have been made possible. And, above all, for the fans who have always wondered what goes on in this happy-go-lucky world of Hakuouki SSL, and newcomers who are curious as to what is even going on here – this one’s for you!
The download for the mod itself can be found under “releases”!
