English text review

Version 1.0.2 improves three English lines after comparing 1,900 additional records with the Japanese source. The previously observed 1,436 records were also compared, so contextual source review now covers all 3,336 registered records. Those records were already translated. One line now makes clear that the speaker no longer needs a job offer, and two use more natural English.

The corrected cartridge completed a fresh controller-driven campaign through the ending, credits and final results. All six paragraphs of the three changed records also passed separate controlled native rendering checks. Additional rejection and alternate-ending tests are attributed to the earlier 1.0.1 cartridge in the test record.

The browser player also fixes restoring a snapshot while paused: Restore resumes play automatically. Earlier snapshots remain available in the archived 1.0.1 player. Cross-version snapshot imports stay separate.

The SNES runtime, physical-controller mappings, game logic, save layout and original Japanese edition are unchanged. Title artwork, staff-name attribution glyphs and original password kana remain intentional parts of the preservation edition. Every possible choice has not been exhaustively played.
