This is a full English fan translation patch for Gensou Rougoku no Kaleidoscope (幻想牢獄のカレイドスコープ, Kaleidoscope of Phantasm Prison), also abbreviated as Gerokasu (ゲロカス). It is a psychological horror visual novel developed by 07th Expansion and published by Entergram, featuring a scenario by Ryukishi07 (Higurashi, Umineko) and character designs by Itaru Hinoue (Kanon, AIR, CLANNAD). The game was released in Japan on December 17, 2020 for PS4, PS Vita (PCSG01294), and Nintendo Switch.

The patch translates the game's script from Japanese to English. It was produced by a team of three: Miko (translator), Amarena (editor), and Neurochitin (programming/tools). The patch is compatible with both the Nintendo Switch and PS Vita versions of the game.

There is also an additional editing pass by Amarena available as a separate project (miko_kaleido_patch_editplus).

Note: The Vita version of the game has some differences compared to the Switch version.

Requirements

A hacked PS Vita.

A copy of Gensou Rougoku no Kaleidoscope (PCSG01294).

Instructions

Go to the Releases page and download the PS Vita patch.rom from the latest release. Then, install the patch in ux0/rePatch/PCSG01294/ on a homebrewed Vita with the rePatch plugin installed. **(Note that the Vita patch is inferior to the Switch one, because so far, we were unable to patch the game's font on the Vita. Instead, the default font is used, which is a bit ugly and is also missing some characters.)
