Sdatcher

[Zen]

A few years back it was announced that Kojima was going to collaborate on a project with Suda 51 on something called "Project S". About 2 months ago, four years after it's announcement, it was unveiled that Project S was going to be happen soon with the title being: Sdatcher

Sdatcher for those unaware, is a Snatcher-based radio drama. It's been said that it takes place before Gillian's adventure; thus making it a prequel to Snatcher.

Up at JunkerHQ, they translated the character bios among other things.

Okay, translated a little bit more, this time from the "LISTEN" section of the website.


COMING IN ACT 1

Delicious crab fried rice and a beautiful waitress with a smile that'll take your breath away. That's the Warsaw.

Into that run-of-the-mill diner strolled a guy who was anything but. That's when fate started spinning its gears.

The name's Jean-Jack Gibson.

"I know where I'm going to die."

Now for the moment this is a Japan-only thing. "So, Wastewander, why the bonk should we discuss something that's only in Japanese with no plans of an English localization?" Well, pretty much because in the last KojiPro Podcast, it was mentioned that they wanted to know if there was any interest in Sdatcher and if people had any ideas about how to bring a Japanese radio drama to the West.
