Japanese text remaining?

[Babs Scriven]

I'm curious if anyone else is having this, if maybe it's intentional or what. I've entered the tutorial somnium, and there's just some Japanese text left untranslated here.

This also happened after Ryuki saw the QR code video and freaked out, and I assumed that one was intentional weirdness because of the world breaking down too, but this one feels... less so? I dunno, I'm just kind of worried the translation has problems and I'll need to wait for fixes before really diving in.

Dunno about the Somnium one, but the scene after watching the video is intentional.

For the record, it's just a bunch of gibberish anyway, he's not saying anything comprehensible.

[Lemiru]

Pretty sure that it's chinese and that it is intentional

[Doctor TacoChocolate]

Yup, Chinese and purely intentional. It's a plot point.

[Arabesque]

that is most definitely Japanese, not Chinese?? I am pretty curious about what it says even if it's gibberish

事件のこと (meaning "about the case" in Japanese) turns into "莠倶ｻｶ縺ｮ縺薙→" when converting the charset from Shift JIS to UTF-8. As you can see, this matches the "莠倶ｻｶ縺ｮ縺薙" in the image (without the arrow).

And conversely, converting the game's "莠倶ｻｶ縺ｮ縺薙" from UTF-8 to Shift JIS nets you "事件のこ�"

Also, the post-final ending's achievement, "閭｡陜ｶ荵句､｢邱ｨ" turns into "胡蝶之夢編", which I think should be read in Japanese as "Kocho no Yume-hen", "Butterfly's Dream Arc".

Wait, could this be also applied to the texts that appear when Ryuki freaks out?

Probably. I tried it yesterday but used a worse tool that couldn't handle all cases. This tool works better (set "encode with" to shift_jis and "decode with" to utf-8) https://string-functions.com/encodedecode.aspx but I don't have the text I transcribed anymore.

The first dialogue box after Ryuki sees the QR video is

遐ｴ繝ｬ邯ｻ繝吶ご閼ｱ繧ｻ繝ｨ繧ｳ繧ｳ繧剰劒讒句ｹｻ荳也阜逶ｮ隕喜ａ繝ｨ隲ｸ蜷幃擠蜻ｽ繝取凾逵溽炊繝取演髢九こ

from what I can tell. Running it through a converter yields

破レ綻ベゲ脱セヨココわ虚構幻世界目覊삁ヨ諸君革命ノ時真理ノ扉開ケ

There's an out of place Korean character 삁 which might be due to me transcribing it incorrectly. Also, the the usage of katakana is nonstandard.

Running this through Google Translate gives

Breaking down Bege de-seyokowa Fictional phantom world Eyes 삁 Yo-kun Revolution No Toki Mari No Door opening

But translating with DeepL results in

Break free from the shackles of fiction and illusion, my friends, and open the door to truth at the time of revolution.

which is quite a bit more ominous.

It's neither Chinese nor Japanese.
As someone who reads both some Chinese and Japanese, that looks nothing like a real script and more like some Asian language text that got the encoding wrong on a computer and ended up as gibberish.
Although it appears some people above have solved what the "correct" encoding of that gibberish was.

% echo "閭｡陜ｶ荵句､｢邱ｨ"|iconv -f utf-8 -t sjis
胡蝶之夢編
Wow!! Somebody's definitely going to have to decrypt the Unity scripts and see what the rest says.

Anyone know what the OST named 796f756b6e6f7765766572797468696e67 decodes to, if anything? It's the song that plays once you input the nil number

That one's a bit less interesting. It's just the hexadecimal representation of some ASCII text. It decodes to "youknoweverything".

[NeMo]

yes its intentional . In reality,these characters often appeared when a chinese or japanese translation mod doesent work and come to a bug. so you can consider ryuki went into some bugs (of course all INTENTIONAL..... these character can not be translated or have an alternative English words because its kind of symbol of bug.

Ummm... It's Japanese though? Those are Japanese encoders. ^^; Not sure how people would mix Japanese encoded Shift JIS characters with Chinese...
