Sent away without reason, a young girl gets off the train in Benten. She should be confused, but part of her knows. A flash of violet, boys looming over her, grasping for an amulet that wasn't there. Silence. Blood. Escape.
It wasn't her that did it--it was him. So as long as she has her Mikoshi, she is safe. Or is she? When she arrives at her relatives' home in this sleepy town, Yu Midoshima will quickly unravel the threads of her very existence.
This is a tale about the ends of greed: Yokubari.

- ClockTower_GhostHead_Yokubari.cue: A CUEsheet for use with this game. I think the vanilla CUE will
work fine, but I included this for simplicity's sake. It assumes your game image is named
"ClockTower_GhostHead_Yokubari.bin". To change this, open the CUEsheet in Notepad and rename the
line in quotation marks to suit the name you want for your game's BIN.

NOTE TO THOSE PLAYING ON A PS2 WITH OPL
To create Yokubari, I had to rebuild the ISO entirely. Therefore, the patch changes CTII's checksum.
This interferes with OPL auto-setting graphics rendering hacks. Point being:

There are still a few errors, as this stops some objects from properly disappearing at certain
camera angles. I'm hoping that gets fixed as word of Yokubari grows.
I have not seen anything else that has this issue.
====================================================================================================
====================================================================================================
Overview [OVR2]
========
TEXT:
- Restored all character, item, and location names from the NTSC-J original.
- Script revised, a hybrid of the official localization and a new retranslation, based on
translations by Waddle Bih.
- Restored Fujika's original personality.
- Hybridized Sho's more no-nonsense parlance with Bates' edgier, more adult way of speaking.
- Typos and formatting issues corrected.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOUND:
- All Japanese voice acting tracks completely restored. This includes incidental sound effects,
such as Alyssa/Yu's gasp, Stephanie/Chinatsu's laugh, Bates/Sho's grunt, etc. (Credit: swosho)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAPHICS:
- Subtitled FMV for Ending A. (Credit: swosho)
- Revised and retranslated Pamphlet's Story Guide graphics, based on translations by Waddle Bih.
- Recolored Bowman/Gomoto's colored sketch in his Story Guide graphics to reflect his in-game
skin and jeans tones.
====================================================================================================
====================================================================================================
Changelog [CHG3]
=========
v1.00 (Feb 23 2023)
TEXT:
- Restored all terms and names used in the NTSC-J original. Note that the Extra Mode rules and the
Sound Test still call the monsters "zombies," as this discrepancy was present in the NTSC-J
original.
(Alyssa Hale -> Yu Midoshima
Bates -> Sho
Philip Tate -> Hajime Takano
Kathryn Tate -> Yayoi Takano
Ashley Tate -> Akiyo Takano
Stephanie Tate -> Chinatsu Takano
Michael Tate -> Masaharu Takano
Allen Hale -> Takashi Midoshima
Alex Corey -> Hitoshi Ishizue
Doug Bowman -> Wataru Gomoto
Shannon Lewis -> Fujika
Henry Kaplan -> Tatsushi Uro
Jessica Cook -> Atsushi Kishi
Lynn Maxwell -> Rin Saido
George Maxwell -> Fushihito Saido
Amulet -> Mikoshi
Milicana -> Inori
Cerebral Toxin -> HU599 Bacterial Toxin
Zombie -> Monster/Creature
San Francisco -> Tokyo
Monterey County -> Osaka
Salinas -> Benten Ward
Prunedale -> Sanmai Ward
Memorial Hospital -> Benten Hospital
Memorial Pharmaceuticals Research Lab -> Benten Pharmaceuticals Research Lab)
- Spot-checked each line of text and compared it against retranslations by Waddle Bih. The absolute
worst lines have been corrected, but much of the localization was fine to begin with.
The largest correction was the distinction between the unnamed hallucinogenic chemicals and the
HU599 toxin; this plot point is now much clearer.
- Named Saido's stalker form "Ghost Head" for a connection to the NTSC-J title. This first appeared
on the back of the NTSC-U cover art.
- Merged Sho's more blunt personality with Bates' edgy and sadistic nature.
- Restored Fujika's original personality.
- Reformatted the script to account for unnecessary spaces after the colon and comma characters.
- Retimed several subtitles to account for new and altered text.
- Adjusted text to better clue player in on how to find the Back door key in Chapter 2.
- Merged original text for Hint #1 and Hint #2, as they were similar to begin with.
- Rewrote Hint #2 to be about Alyssa/Yu and Bates/Sho's different methods of dealing with a stalker
situation. This is to help players understand that Yu doesn't use guns.
- Rewrote Hint #8 to be about obtaining all 13 endings in just two playthroughs. The original Hint
#8 text was absolutely worthless.
- Various typos and inconsistencies inherent to the retail localization corrected.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOUND:
- [Applied Patch] Clock Tower II Undub by Swosho
Completely restores all Japanese voice acting to the game, and subtitles the FMV for Ending A.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAPHICS:
- Fully remade each page in the Pamphlet's Story Guide to account for the cast's restored names.
- Added the number 9 to Chapter 2's font for "HU599".
- Added the numbers 5 and 9 to Chapter 3's font for "HU599".
- Added the capital letter K to Chapter 3's font for "Kishi".
- Recolored Bowman/Gomoto's colored sketch in his Story Guide entries. Now it reflects his darker
skin and dark-wash jeans from in-game.
- Normalized item names to only capitalize the first letter of each name.
- Reverted and corrected several Sound Test track titles.
(Clock Tower II -> Ghost head
Mistery -> Mystery
Curse statue -> Cursed statue
