Nepheshel - English Translation

“Deep within the Confined Isle in the depths of the Ebony Labyrinth, sleeps something so wondrous that people must not disturb it.”

Thus is written the sole passage in the Book of Counsel. The rest of the pages are blank…

Nepheshel is a freeware RPG created by the doujin circle Studio Til that was first released on June 3rd, 2002. Over 2 decades later, I published an English translation of this classic game with Studio Til’s permission on October 15th, 2022.

For those wanting to learn more about the game, read on…

Having washed ashore from the ocean onto an island known as the “Confined Isle”, the protagonist is unable to remember anything aside from their name, with his sole possessions being an oddly shaped crystal, a dagger, and an enigmatic book. The island is also said to be plagued by a powerful curse, causing all who dare to enter or leave to completely lose their memories, making escape practically impossible. With little else to do, the protagonist embarks on a journey to find the answers they’re looking for… Nepheshel is a dugeon-crawler RPG, with many complex dungeons sprawling throughout the Confined Isle. The mysterious monoliths known as “Gates” scattered roundabout the island can prove instrumental in your adventure by warping you to and from the depths of dungeons you’ve visited, saving you some footwork. Players are not locked onto any one-way paths, thereby granting them a very high degree of freedom as to how they want to explore the island’s dungeons.

Furthermore, getting through dungeons can be a walk in the park since all enemies are displayed on the field with zero random encounters, allowing players to simply run past even the strongest of adversaries. If you get caught by them however, you’ll be lucky to escape with your life…

Use your power to the fullest, and do all that you can to find the truth.

One game I really want to play is Nepheshel. It's a JRPG made in 2002, I think, by Studio Til using RPG Maker 2000. However, it is entirely in japanese, and it doesn't really seem to be very popular outside of Japan, in fact I've never seen someone write about it in any other language than japanese, and theoretically I may be the first non-japanese person to know of this game, so I doubt there's any translatiom coming up, especially seeing as the game is 11 years old already. It seems to be really popular in Japan though, and if I ever learn more japanese, I'd be really interested in translating the game if anyone could help me with the technical stuff.
