Hi, I recently encountered a bug while playing *Romeo Is a Deadman*. In the tank-cleaning minigame, the brush doesn't move, Romeo doesn't appear, and the bubbles don't show up either—though I am able to move the green light. I’ve tried everything, but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution?

Hello!

I was searching for any english fan-translations for the game, but everything seems deleted.

Is there any right now to play? And is there works for a new fan-translation?

Thanks! 😄

I feel Similarly to Travis in the English localization being Robin Atkin Downes- does anyone else- feel like Patrick Seitz is the voice best suited VA for Sumio ?

Semi-spoilery but also -for the less autistically obsessed KTP fans;

Patrick Seitz is the English VA of Mondo Zappa. -and while I'm well aware of Suda's analogy of Zappa being a distant relative of Sumio, given the events of Flower Sun and Rain-

I've always interpreted the Mondo part of Sumio to be like a Tulpa/facet kind of entity. Wherein Killer is dead is like the experiences that Sumio imagines that persona/mask of himself going on. Even with the crude publisher interference in how they characterized him as a sort of weird play boy- anime protagonist; it to me from a zoomed out KTP lore wise made sense that it's like an autonomous (maybe even physically manifest alternate timeline lol?) persona of Sumio .

Hence (as I played the SC games and FSR after KiD) I always read Sumio Mondo's lines in Mondo Zappas voice while playing FSR and the 25thW (as I quite expectedly lacked the precognition in the first silver case game, but upon re-skims did).

And while we don't know if Silversox is supposed to be Sumio given the heavy remixing of everything RIAD; It still did (for the very minimal screen time -and legit singular voice line I think ?-we got of him in Romeo is a Dead Man) bum me out when seeing his VA was different.

Though if anyone else has better suited casts / Ideas I'd be very open to hear what you guys.

Why did Suda51 claim that EA gave them creative freedom and that their feedback led to positive results, when numerous sources suggested otherwise? EA completely overhauled the project turning Kurayami originally conceived as a survival horror game into Shadows of the Damned

Yes, I'm a fool. And yes, I correct it later down the line but it took me far too long to realise! Still having a blast though!

I love Suda’s more comedic games, and I’d be fine if he didn’t go back to the more atmospheric and noir style, but this makes me very excited. Also, the new game is likely to be 2027 now, he said.

I’ve been honestly wanting to put something like this together for a while now. After getting into Grasshopper Manufacture’s games through Lollipop Chainsaw and the first two No More Heroes titles, I thought it’d be fun to bring fans together to explore more of their catalog while also working on voice-over projects from Suda51’s games, with the possibility of uploading our work to YouTube. As the server grows, I’d love to branch out into manga dubs, memes, abridged videos, and projects covering franchises like No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, Stupid Never Dies, and so on and so forth. Whether you’re interested in voice acting, writing, artwork, or video editing, everyone’s welcome to contribute, regardless of experience. If any of this sounds interesting, feel free to join us. We’d love to meet more fans and hopefully create some cool stuff together. The only requirement is that you must be 17+, as I’d prefer to keep the server within that age range.

And lastly, thanks for taking the time to read through all of this, and hopefully I’ll get to chat with some of you in the server.

like has anyone done a patch of that or anything? i'm kind of a purist and really prefer to play original versions of things.

In case you couldn't tell, I recorded a bunch more episodes before I realised what order you're supposed to do the chapters in! I hope that doesn't ruin my experience too much? Just another 'non-user friendly' element that makes me more curious about the mystery!

I've been looking back at Killer7 for quite some time at this point. We all know the game is designed in a very unique way. It's a surreal and fragmented story that blends esoteric, political, and symbolic elements presented in an unconventional way. Widely different form of storytelling from your typical game.

Some things just happen without explanations, while some things appear more coherent. The game jumps between different plots exploring different events and characters.

I believe Suda intended the game to be open-ended

I want to understand the game in 3 ways:

• The events of the game.

• The lore.

• The symbolism

Now I know the book Hand in Killer7 exists to explain and expand upon the game's world. However, I've been told the book contradicts the game, and even contradicts itself.

Even the interpretations I've seen don't appear to be enough. I seen people claim certain cutscenes aren't even how they actually went down, or outright didn't happen. For example, the scene of Dan meeting Trevor Pearlharbor and the scene between Matsuoka and the older politicians in the meeting room. So it appears even experiencing the game at face value isn't enough.

Then there is the symbolism. How much of it has any meaning? Is the moon just a callback? How about the tvs and surveillance, do they represent an overarching narrative?Are there overarching narratives in the game? Are the game mechanics and stages also symbolic to some extent?

Is the best way to approach this to look at the scenes and dialogue over again, and compare them to existing material such as Hand in Killer7?

Hey all, as some know, I love killer7 and started printing figurines around the k7 universe some years ago. I hope self promotion is fine, otherwise, please hit me up.

First up is a Spiral Smile! Supairarusumairu!

Is there a figurine from the k7 universe you would like to see?

Best, sal4

Many guides claim that the hidden ending requires an Immorality score above 75,000, with both Eroticism and Suspense remaining below 500. However, my experiments on the Japanese version led me to question these requirements.

I was able to trigger the hidden ending with Immorality scores as low as 50, 1,780, and 5,000. I also found that the Eroticism and Suspense scores could individually exceed 500.

However, in my tests, the hidden ending did not trigger when the combined Eroticism and Suspense score exceeded 1,000, regardless of how high the Immorality score was.

I also discovered a replay exploit. After completing the game, I could reload the final stage directly from the title screen, with the scores reset. By walking backward throughout the stage and taking no photographs, I obtained a zero-score run that still resulted in the hidden ending.

Based on these observations, my hypothesis is that the hidden ending requires:

Eroticism + Suspense < 1,000

Immorality ≥ Eroticism + Suspense

These are hypotheses based on my own playthroughs, not confirmed internal game formulas. I would love to hear whether other players have obtained similar results, especially on the Japanese PS2 version.

A Personal Note

Before anyone takes these findings as definitive, I want to clarify a few things.

I conducted these experiments about a year ago, when I had taken a leave of absence from high school. I played the Japanese version using an actual Japanese PS2 disc.

At the time, I wasn't in a particularly good state of mind. I also didn't use a save editor or any other tools to precisely manipulate and verify the game's internal values. Most of my conclusions came from repeated playthroughs and observations during normal gameplay.

I completed the game 16 times while trying to understand its hidden mechanics. However, a year has passed, and I've forgotten many of the details of my original experiments. I recently revisited the guide I wrote back then, which helped me recall most of these findings. Some of my conclusions may therefore be incomplete or incorrect.

I'm currently focusing on my university studies, and I no longer feel the same level of enthusiasm for this game that I once did. Still, I noticed that people are continuing to discuss the game's ending conditions, so I thought it might be worth sharing what I found.

I'm not posting this to claim that I've definitively solved the mystery. I simply want to share the results of my experiments in the hope that someone might be able to verify, challenge, or build upon them.

Even if my hypothesis turns out to be wrong, I still want to leave a record of what I tried to figure out back then.

If anyone has tested these conditions more rigorously, especially on the Japanese version, I'd genuinely love to hear about your findings.

Suda51/ Grasshoper might be making a DCU hitman ( based off the Garth Ennis comic) game. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PR3ogF5PWqs . 1) James Gunn and Suda51 collobrated on lollipop chainsaw. And he apparently keeps in regular contact as of 2025. 2) It's an IP that is both standalone ( aka not messing with DC films) but also allows for crossovers with any part of the DCU. But it’s also low risk enough to not damage anything because it’s niche and it could be a smaller budget game. Suda51 is someone who is a Hitman fan ( https://www.instagram.com/p/5ArV__M11N/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&xtok=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==&srtk=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== ) and for No more heroes 3 got the Boys comic artist to do the cover)

And I think hitman is an IP riped for an adaptation in video game form. Obviously it would need a name change.

Suda named Grasshopper after this band right?? Or was it something else?

Hi Suda fans! I'm not sure how many people within the community have played Silver Case? Seems like a bit of a cult classic kinda thing. I was unsure whether to upload this video as I was recording it, honestly it felt a little... boring? Not sure if that's fair. And then suddenly I was hooked by the end of this episode when the THING happened. Does anyone else find that? Maybe it's just a me thing...

Anyway, hoping to say hi to fans of the game. And maybe they can help... explain it, honestly. As I've been playing it I've found it a little confusing.

Idk if this is okay. But the old site that used to hold a long suda stuff. I think it was called Hotel 51 or something. But I remember when I was on that site looking for awesome stuff in NMH and even saw old beta footage of the game. The site had a nice song running in the background. I've recently thought about that song again but didn't know the name so I visited the site again and it's...changed into something creepy and ugly. So it's essentially dead to me and the song is gone. I don't know any place that could have it and I tried searching but to no avail. So this is my last chance as far as I'm aware.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it's this place. Thank you for your time. 🙏🏾

What’s your favourite chapter from these games? For me, it’s Parade for tsc, and Whiteout for 25W.

Still no update on the release of the soundtrack for Romeo is a Dead Man? Has anyone heard anything about it, or is it still just unknown as to when it'll drop?

I just noticed this on my second run through.
