Zero Time Dilemma Comes to PS4 Tomorrow, Aksys Looks Back at the Trilogy’s Localization
In celebration of tomorrow's PS4 release of Zero Escape Vol. 3: Zero Time Dilemma, I thought I'd look back at the journey this series has gone through and the small part I played in helping bring it to English-speaking audiences. A lot is known about the development, but here's a little peek into the localization side.
I was working as a QA tester in the Aksys office a good number of years ago when, one day, an evaluation title came in. A little unvoiced escape the room demo playable in a browser that only showcased one room. You could click on everything in the room, and the music urged you to go faster or you’d drown. Those of us who didn’t know Japanese had to ask our translators for the solution to two briefcase puzzles because the hints relied on (slightly convoluted) knowledge of kana characters and placement which flew over our heads.
