About this filter

REPLACED is a side-scrolling action game from SadCatStudios where profanity turns up throughout the story — in ordinary dialogue, in-game articles, and UI text. This filter is for players who want everything else about the game exactly as shipped, with the harshest language taken out: streamers who need clean audio for a text-heavy game, parents with REPLACED running where kids can hear, or anyone who just prefers calmer language on screen. It runs only on your own installed copy of a game you already own, and the download itself carries no REPLACED content — only the edit rules that re-create the changes on your machine.

The filter covers 288 English lines across 23 game files. You choose what gets censored from four independent toggles — Blasphemy (107 lines), Medium (112 lines), Strong (55 lines), and Mild (14 lines) — all four checked by default, so you can leave any group untouched if you'd rather keep it. REPLACED's on-screen text table is multi-language; the filter only ever reads and edits the English entries, and the other language versions stay byte-for-byte identical to a vanilla install. There's no audio to cover — REPLACED has no voiced dialogue.

The app runs entirely on your own machine: it reads REPLACED's own on-screen text table, matches profanity by category, and replaces matched words with same-length asterisks so layout and pacing never shift, backing up your originals before it changes anything. It was verified with a real in-game launch against REPLACED on GOG (build GUID 1d29bb41a1c84d2ca67015fe91208c3c), including a check that switching off a single category leaves the rest of the text unfiltered; Steam ownership works through the app's manual Browse option, but the Steam build hasn't been independently tested yet. The story, world, and gameplay are exactly as SadCatStudios made them — only the flagged words change, and only in the categories you pick.

What Was Changed

  • 288 lines of on-screen dialogue, in-game articles, and UI text containing English profanity are masked with same-length asterisks across 23 game files, so on-screen length and layout are unchanged.
  • Choose what's filtered: four independent toggles — Blasphemy (107 lines), Medium (112 lines), Strong (55 lines), and Mild (14 lines) — all four checked by default. Untick any group you'd rather keep.
  • English only: REPLACED's on-screen text table covers several languages; only the English entries are read or edited, and the other language versions stay byte-for-byte identical to a vanilla install.
  • No audio is modified — REPLACED has no voiced dialogue.

What Was NOT Changed

The story, world, and gameplay are exactly as SadCatStudios shipped them — only the flagged English words change, and only in the categories you choose to censor. Sentence structure, punctuation, fonts, and text layout are untouched. Achievements, saves, and modding compatibility are unaffected. This download includes no REPLACED game files — a small app re-creates the edits on your own installed copy, and nothing from the game ships with it.
