Chapter 1a - Finding letters
The second DLC contains the Nyakuza Metro with a new fictional language.
The cat language is none other than english but with different font.
Some words even have the latin text directly beneath the nyakuza text.

Letters a, c, m and t


Letters e, n and r


Letters g, i, l, p and s


Letters d and h


Letter u


Letter o
The screen shows I AM ERR_R.
The only letter that makes sense is o.


Keyboard letters and digits
Near the Error-Screen is a keyboard, that shows a bunch of letters.


On the cruise ship of the first DLC Seal the Deal is a similar Keyboard with a different Texture.
Letters f, j, k, q, w, x, y, z, 0..9 and a question mark


Only 2 letters are missing: b and v.

Letter v
it's pretty damn expensi_e


Letter b
Banana-flavored Ice-Cream.
There are also not so tasty flavors.


Dollar-Symbol
There is also a Dollar-Symbol.

Chapter 1b - Finding more letters
There are more letters, because the font uses Case-sensitivity.

Letters L, M and P


Letters A, E, O, R and T
Inverse Case-Sensitive.
Instead of Metro, it's mETRO.
This might be a small oversight from Gears for Breakfast.


Letter W
warning !! _atch out !!


Letters C, K and S
_afè _itty - _pecial _hocolate _ish _ake
This one is a little bit more difficult.
Cafè Kitty and Special are the easy part.
Unfortunately the _ish part can have multiple answers at this point.


Letter D
Becareful not to confuse with the letter small 'z'.


Letters F, N and U
This is the Info-Desk, where you can get a Guide here.
Now that we found the letter big F,
we know that the Cafè Kitty serves Chocolate Fish Cake.


Letters H and I (and question mark for double check)

Here is a table of the Nyakuza-Translation.
