Notes:
In this game the main character, Hotaru Kiyokawa, is diagnosed with a mysterious disease known as "Climax Additiction". She is sent to the "Climax Ward", the only facility handling such patients. She is subjected to all manner of "treatments" and "experiments, discovers a dark secret, and eventually "donates" her body to science.
The circle TOUCHABLE does some great stuff. They have several works in this fairly narrow niche, and I would love to see those translated at some point. The first fter this is in a reasonable state would probably be the sequel to this. There are a few circles that have made similar works and I have been looking into translating those as well, but most of them are much more complex and will take longer than I am willing to commit to at the moment.
I have been figuring out a translation workflow for KiriKiri and ONScripter games, and this game is serves as a very simple test project to see how well it works. I did a little initial work trying to translate games such in-place and repack them so I could just distribute a patch archive (xp3/nsa/ns2/etc), but have come to the conclusion that dealing with engines which were not well designed to target english is not worth the effort.
My current workflow actually rewrites the input game script(s) to Ren'Py, which has good support for translation, and allows a lot more versatility such as being able to switch languages in real-time. If someone is interested in translating the game to languages other than english this would also be fairly easy to do in that case. I honestly hope some circles start looking at Ren'Py, although given how long they continue to use old versions of RPGM and NScripter I won't be getting my hopes up too much.

Well, I finally got around to working on this again, and I am pleased to report that I am releasing what should be the final version of this translation. It was a long road and I ended up redoing the whole translation using several different tools, but overall I think it was worth is, as the quality is (in my opinion) quite high. Please provide any feedback on F95, if there are enough issues I might release one last version to fix them, but things seem to work pretty well.
Also updated Ren'Py to 7.6.3, but that should be invisible. Maybe the next translation (that is already in progress) will use Ren'Py 8. That'd be neat.

I've started the main pass of QA/editing for this game. There's a whole bunch to do and it's pretty slow going. I enjoy this less than the actual translating so it is a lower priority than most other things in my life at the moment. So far there hasn't been any feedback, though I haven't confirmed that anyone is even playing the translation, so whatever. I am continuing to translate the sequel, but am not far enough to bother making a page for it.

Merry fucking Christmas. Translating takes way longer than you would think. I also overestimated my progress in my original posting. This release is fully translated, but still needs a large amount of editing before it could be considered complete. There are many inconsistencies in the translation, terminology, and grammar. Regardless, the game is playable and ate least a bit better than my previous google translate hack-job of a translation.
I have started on the sequel, largely to get a gist of the story and make sure the translation of this game make sense in context. The current plan is to release a few updates to this translation before moving on to a serious translation of the sequel.
This release has only been tested on Windows, but should work on any platform supported by Ren'Py.

My first translation in a while. This is a kinetic (no-choices) novel with a lot more text/dialogue than anything I've previously translated, though compared to many other VNs it is fairly short. It is still going to take several more weeks (it is currently early October 2021) for the initial release.
This "translation" is a full reimplementation of the game in the Ren'Py VN Engine instead of a patch of the original NScripter game. As with my previous translation the original game will be required to play this game. There is an import process for all AV assets that will extract them from the ns2 archive(s), so the translated/reimplemented version of the game will be generally unplayable without the original. You can purchase the game from DLSite with the link above. Please support the original author so we get more games like this.
I am also considering translating the sequel (RJ272489) after the release of this translation.
