"Obscure PS1 RPG 'Prisoner' Now Available in English!"

Exciting news for RPG enthusiasts! A new fan patch has just been released for the Japanese-exclusive game *Prisoner*, allowing players to experience this hidden gem in English for the very first time. Originally launched in 1999, *Prisoner* is one of the few titles developed by the now-defunct Japanese company Feycraft, which closed its doors in 2000. Published by Mainichi Communications, the game follows a young boy named Fry. He’s tasked with caring for his ailing parent, Gernack, in a mysterious subterranean world known as the Golden Dawn. Players are immersed in a captivating top-down perspective, navigating interconnected rooms filled with intriguing NPCs and fierce monsters. Forming alliances with characters can significantly influence the game’s ending, creating a unique adventure with each playthrough. This remarkable English patch comes courtesy of ChapuTranslations, who previously brought the 1996 title *Welcome House 2: Keaton and His Uncle* to English-speaking audiences in 2024. They describe the translation of *Prisoner* as a “passion project,” emphasizing its “superb” story that deserves wider recognition. All in-game text has been meticulously translated by a human touch, making the game fully playable from start to finish. While there are a few minor text glitches, most can be easily avoided by using the triangle or circle buttons on your controller to advance dialogue. ChapuTranslations is dedicated to improving the patch based on player feedback, so don’t hesitate to share any errors you come across. Are you ready to dive into the world of *Prisoner* and uncover its secrets? #RPG #FanTranslation #GamingCommunity
