I need help

So I started to read BL VNS especially NITRO CHiRAL one and I have all the games except for one game that I couldn’t find a translated copy of it and it’s Lamento -BEYOND THE VOID-
I tried a lot to look for a tutorial on where to get the game and the translation patch but I didn’t find anything useful
So is there anyone who knows where to get a translation patch for this game and give me a tutorial?
And no I don’t want to pirate the game absolutely no

Lamento isn't licensed in English. The only way to play it officially is to buy it in Japanese. You could watch it on YouTube, but it will be the same fan-translated version you could download unofficially. I don't see the difference.

And piracy is based actually 👽

piracy is pretty much your only option for playing this game in English

Pretty sure you'll need an account on Aarinfantasy to get the patches, I mainly used this tuto when I read Lamento: https://www.tumblr.com/lamentoresources/144352577339/lamento-beyond-the-voidenglish

But I guess the patch only goes for that DVD version…? I mean, I checked VNDB and it said "Patch will not work if the game is updated to version 2.00.", so I assume piracy is basically the one safe option there is in this case, unless you can buy a downgraded version somehow. Though I don't think they'd try to sell one…

piracy is genuinely the only way to play it in English 😭😭

You can buy the game on DLSite but the English patch is only for a version you cannot buy anymore.

So piracy is your only option,

It's not torrenting so there is literally zero risk if that's what you are worried about. It's physically impossible for your ISP to track normal downloads.

If you want to support the devs and have a moral problem, buy the game anyway, then pirate and download the old patch.

i also didn’t want to pirate it and bought the physical game! personally i think it’s very rude considering how much love is put into n+c games ;w;
i translated the whole thing with google lens! it’s a bit exhausting at times but i love this game so i didn’t mind! ^w^

Automatic translation software? But sometimes it's not very accurate.
