Izayoi no Fortuna (十六夜のフォルトゥーナ) Review

This game is a pain in the ass…

Normally, for a game like Izayoi no Fortuna that runs on the same engine as Hatsuyuki Sakura, you just drag the exe onto AlphaROMdiE and it runs.

Not this one. Dragging it in gave me mojibake on my Surface Pro 3, and none of the checkboxes helped. Funny thing is, under Wine on Linux there was no mojibake at all, and a Windows 10 laptop I tried was fine too. The problem only exists on my tablet.

So I tried launching it directly. Launching works, no mojibake, but when you get into the actual game it warns you that you’re not in a Japanese locale, and Locale Emulator doesn’t help either…

Damn it. Guess I have to fix it myself.

The process is written up here. The patch link in the original post is dead, so I’ve put one up myself. Here’s hoping the people who find this through a search engine get lucky…

By the way, this game’s story is just way too…
