Despite its high quality presentation, Quilt was not hugely popular (even in Japan). A few of the option menu have English text in them, so that makes navigating the game settings somewhat easier. The real challenge for someone who can't read Japanese, is the Item Making mode, which is an essential part of the game to get "true" endings. However there are some walk-thru guides that cover this - in Japanese of course, but its not too difficult to compare the kanji. @Suic: To the best of my knowledge, there has never been an English fanlation for the title.

I like the look of the game so i want to play it but i cant understan it. Is there something like an english translation of the different menus.

I find it easier to read that way. I sure wish you could have summarized what goes on in their paths, but I do suppose that's up to you whether it's too much trouble or not. I'm surprised that in a game with so much focus on fashion, you don't voice your preference for any particular outfit the characters wear throughout the game. I personally prefer Mizuki's blue dress myself, though I am driven to wonder whether her dark skin and blonde hair make her a "ganguro." By the way, since I'm a long-time lurker of the PP boards, I heard about your preference for a certain type of eroge. Have you then played the two Innocent Grey games Cartagra and Nagomibako? According to what I've been able to glean, they both feature some of that. I appreciate your response, but do you think you could turn their names into Romaji? I find it easier to read that way.

Mizuki and Sia were designed by すぎやま 現象 of the ファイナルロマンス series (popular mahjong sex strippers for NEO GEO and SEGA Saturn). The lovely ladies do not have family names listed on the official site or instruction manual, because with the exception of Mizuki and Kanami, they all have something to conceal concerning their origins. Thus the player eventually learns who they really are, but they'd rather him not... at least at first. @Mazryonh: Kyrie and Kanami were designed by LiLiTH veteran 西脇 ゆぅり (I believe he still works for them).

Too bad the previous version went down after people who had nothing better to do than sabotage sites crashed your previous one. Maybe you could tell me which artists illustrated which characters? All I know is that Airi and Ena were illustrated by Carnelian. And why don't the characters have last names? Nice review of this rather intriguing game.
