MOMO's Nightmare - or, a Xenosaga I+II Halloween Hack

MOMO’s Nightmare

After the ending of the Xenosaga series, MOMO has been brought on board the Elsa to assist as a navigator. One night, she retires from her post to sleep… but instead of her room, she finds a strange, unworldly place, not bound by the rules of reality. There, she is stalked by a strange girl and a monster, both of which want only one thing - to destroy her. MOMO must evade their grasp, while trying to find a way out of this waking nightmare… if she even can.

MOMO’s Nightmare is an original horror hack for Xenosaga I+II, the first of its kind - for the game, the series, and for myself. I created it entirely within the month of October as a sort of self-game jam, using the knowledge about the game I learned from working on the Vector Translations English patch for the game. I wanted to see if I could get it done before Halloween… and I guess I technically succeeded! This is my first published ROM hack (aside from the Vector Translation demo), so I hope you all enjoy it.

Features

  • An original story (to my knowledge, the first of its kind for any Xeno series hack).

  • English text and graphics, courtesy of Vector Translations.

  • Original (and a few reused) music.

  • A couple of redesigned maps.

  • Edited graphics and character sprites.

  • Spooky lighting.

No AI was used in the making of this hack.

As with all hacks, you will need a copy of the game’s ROM to play. This hack uses the .bps patch format, and it is recommended you use FLIPS Patcher to patch your ROM.

WARNING: This game contains flashing lights, as well as spooky/scary content. Player discretion is advised.

Realized I accidentally duplicated some secret text, so I did a quick update to correct that.
