Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Japanese Audio Patch by Canzah and Slow

The purpose of this readme is to tell you how to replace the English voiceovers in the game with the Japanese ones from Japanese console version of the game.
While the game was made by a western developer with English language as its primary one, Castlevania is still a long-running Japanese franchise and for the Japanese release of the first Lords of Shadow game Konami went all out hiring an All-Star cast for the game's Japanese dub, featuring the voice acting talents of Keiji Fujiwara, Akio Otsuka, Banjo Ginga, Tomokazu Sugita and many others.
To celebrate the 2021 Halloween we're releasing this patch which will make this excellent dub compatible with the PC release of the game, hopefully opening it up to a wider audience.

Installation:
Now here come the steps on how to install the patch.

You'll need to open the folder with the game itself, naturally make sure it's installed beforehand.
You can do so by Right Clicking it in your Steam Library and then selecting Properties -> go into the Local Files tab -> and finally press the Browse Local Files button which will open the folder with the game.

Now all you will need to do is select all the files from the Japanese audio patch you unpacked earlier and copy them to the folder with the game, overwriting the files when asked if you want to do so - this is crucial.

The only thing left for you at this point is to simply start the game and enjoy it with the Japanese voice cast.


Extra note:
Creation of this patch necessitated making a tool that would allow us to repack the game archives, because we believe in open source we're making the tool available on GitHub:
