Planet Alcatraz 2 English Patch — «Санитары подземелий» You can complete the game 100%!
— released in 2026 by Musa in the Steam Guides and i don't want it to disappear so we should highlight his work! Musa did 70% of the work using his personal time and AI. I did the last 30% with AI as well, fixing, patching and gathering stuff.
Putting words in Musa's mouth 😜 : Damn near lost my mind on this one, but here it is!! 227,000 words translated, and not one of you tainted me doing it! (These are sentences from the game itself, it's Prison Humor 😄)
⚠ Content Warning
This article discusses an english patch for the sequel of a game set in a prison colony, and a large part of it deals with how that game's language was translated. The original Russian script contains sustained profanity, graphic sexual threats, homophobic abuse and racial slurs
— reflecting the criminal underworld it portrays.
MUSA the mastermind behind the translation will not be responsible for anything written on this article. If you want to fill a complain... Talk to the website owner... me! "LargeGamer" 😈

Read the Verdict
Planet Alcatraz 2 a "Goblin" approved game!
Just to be clear, this is not the review of Planet Alcatraz 2, the purpose of this article is to bring MUSA's Work to a wider audience. I don't want his work to be lost to the depths of Steam.
But this game wouldn't be what it is without Dmitry Puchkov alias "Goblin". This man is well known in Russia for having fought against censorship all his life. And the previous game Planet Alcatraz the 1st based on Goblin's work was heavily censored.
Many have tried to launch the *Planet Alcatraz 2* translation project, but it wasn't until 2026—thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and the passion of a fan—that it finally became possible. AI is fantastic for automating tasks and speeding up processes that would otherwise have taken weeks, months, or even years... it all depends on the project 😉
I myself was a Fan of the first episode of Planet Alcatraz, despite all of its flaws - and trust me there are many 😅 - And i only found Musa's work by accident.
By the way, you’ll see a few insults in the featured image for this article—that was my doing! I took the liberty of depicting MUSA as Hartman, accompanied by some famous insults from the game itself 😄 He deserves all the credits.
So, what has been done in this English patch?
Again... And i will never emphasize it enough... MUSA did the BIGGEST Part of the work!
If you arrived on this page and plan to use the package i provide, you should go and Thank MUSA on Steam 👍
Full Interface in English - Of course the Graphics and .Wav speech couldn't be translated 😏
| Scope | All 264 dialogue files! roughly 227,000 words, three novels' worth of text. |
|---|---|
| Timeframe | One month of solo work, with a public changelog kept from Early 2026. |
| Tools | ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok cross-checked against each other, plus Santools to extract and repack the archives. |
| Cutscenes | 147 of the 151 scene scripts translated on top of the dialogue. |
| Tone | Deliberately kept the dark, prison-slang voice of the Russian script instead of sanding it down. That said, the AI guardrails did slip through in places — homophobic slurs come out noticeably softened |
| Delivery | A single media99.bm override archive for the Dialogs — and a few other .Pak files for the interface, the scripts, etc etc, an impressive work! |
| Testing | Hundreds of repack-and-test cycles. |
| Why | A fan of Planet Alcatraz 1 who couldn't play the sequel — and finished the whole translation before ever playing it himself. |
Every Scenes have their subtitles - Map, Quest markers, locations, nothing was gorgotten 👍
| Game Patched v1.05.8 (10/02/26) Last version, game completed | The quest about Father Epifan, never completed by the Devs has been reconstructed. You'll have to kill him and then go back to Father Anatoly. Corrections and Bugs fixed in the Chemist quest, but also in dialog labels which were crushing lines from Hartman. |
|---|---|
| Game Patched v1.05.6 (09/26/26) | Corrections made to the translations of 8 additional scenes where Russian was still taking precedence over English. |
| Game Patched v1.05.5 (09/26/26) | Brand New Guide to Ochko provided in the package! This will come in very handy as the game doesn't explain the rules at all, and it will be necessary for the main quest 😏 |
| Game Patched v1.04.5 (09/20/26) | Brand New Save Editor v1.1 provided in the package! This will come in very handy as the game makes a total mess when allocating skills and perks points by itself. Late mercenaries were useless... You can now refund the points and respec your whole team! 😎 |
| Game Patched v1.03.5 (09/12/26) | Translation fixed for the Cinematic regarding Alice, just after having acquired her from Mutagen. It was still displayed in Russian. |
| Game Patched v1.03.4 (09/11/26) | Bug fixed related to the quest to Deliver Enema to Craig, there was a translation issue producing an error message. But also a bug related to a corrupted dialog for a trader Yuan Mei in KreuzeWeiseburg. |
| Game Patched v1.03.2 (09/03/26) | Bug fixed related to the murder sequence after bringing back the Albino pelts. Even alone without your team, the door would stay locked, and the sequence wouldn't launch. The door is now open, and the sequence will start with Blackey. (Touchy, read the readme file) |
| Game Patched v1.03 (08/31/26) | Bug fixed related to the 10 fights on the Ring conducted by Tyson. The end cutscene wouldn't play when victorious and you would be stuck. Now there is a new local condition checking the enemy. |
| Missing lines | 21 dialogue lines that had slipped through, translated across 13 files. |
| Leftover Russian | 11 stray Russian words caught inside otherwise fully English lines. |
| Emotion tags | 943 lines realigned with the original Russian emotion tags, so characters pull the face the developers intended. |
| Scene scripts | The last 4 unfinished scene files completed. |
| Encoding fixes | German umlauts in the Aryan battle cries repaired, plus stray Cyrillic characters showing up mid-word. |
| End credits | The full credits roll translated for the first time — around 140 names. |
| Name consistency | Sorge/Zorge and Marta/Martha unified across the script — 28 fixes, straight off MUSA's own known-bugs list. |
| Archives audited | Several .pak and .bm files have been checked and cleared. |
| Fan Quest fixes | Tracked down an unofficial Russian bug-fix patch on a Russian forum, analysed it, and confirmed which quest blockers it repairs. |
| The bundle | Everything packaged into one download, so anyone buying the game today can play it in English straight away. WIN WIN for everyone! |
All dialogs have been translated and kept uncensored (mostly) - Emotions are now activating properly
By the way Sorge is a reference to Richard Sorge, a famous soviet spy during World War II.

F.A.Q :
Why is your version different from MUSA on Steam ?
When i found out about MUSA's work, he had stopped working on it since some time. And as i began to play myself and encountered bugs on the way, that's why i took the liberty to use my own Pro AI subscription to Claude to work on it. Even if MUSA is now working back again on his version, both our final products are now different. But i like to think the version i am providing here is now the ultimate one. Still, credits to MUSA and the people before him.
Last note :
On the 2nd of October 2026, I have completed Planet Alcatraz 2 after more than 70 hours. I am confident that with this patch, you will also be able to complete the game 100% in English from A to Z. Still, if in the future, you happen to encounter a bug with this English version, feel free to leave a comment on this article, as well as screenshots ingame that could describe the situation (Just use a platform hosting images and put the links in your comment).
I am glad to have taken a part in this "community project". It started with a few people creating the famous media99.bm file, including all the translations from the first zone, which was then hugely improved by MUSA and completed by myself.
Known Bugs you should know about :
- Do not be ashamed to save in a zone between fights, even if you haven't killed all of the enemies! Why ? Crashing to desktop is a real thing in Planet Alcatraz 2 and it happens mostly when a lot of things are happening on the screen like gunfights! So you could kill like 30 enemies and then continue to explore the zone and suddenly crash!
- Also Save Corruption is also a real thing in this game, so always switch between Manual and Quick saves.
- That's why it's better not to choose the Impossible level of difficulty... Crashes will never let you finish the game.
- During the quest of the ear-biter, if you helped Anya escape and go speak to Bucket (takes 2000 coins) instead of going into the yellow harbor, the dialog with Anya will occur, but her character or her lines of dialogs will not appear.
- When using 2 handed-swords, Giant monsters can become stuck and will become harmless.
- If you have already found the Myelophone, Foil Hat and Megaphone, the quest involving Stepan Lu will fail. There is no secret timer, whatever you do, if you have these 3 items the quest will fail. No worry it's not blocking.
Amusing note : While working on the game, i found a reference to an internal Skyfallen server, a relic of the past which seems to have been used as an old version control system. :pserver:shodan@skyfallen.com:/home/cvs
One man translated 227,000 words. Nobody thanked him.
MUSA spent a month of his own time so that English speakers could finally play this game — three AIs, hundreds of repack-and-test cycles, and a script the size of three novels. He posted it on Steam, but It did not receive the attention it should have received... This article exists because of him.
It takes thirty seconds to change that. Drop him a message on Steam. Not a like, not a upvote — an actual sentence from an actual human being who played the game because of what he did.
