I've finished porting this mod over to The Shell Part 3 (2025/01/26).

The Shell Part 3 Improved Readability Mod
Description
This mod applies to all languages, English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Here's a list of what the mod does in detail:
  • Swaps out the thin, serifed fonts with thicker, non-serifed fonts.
  • Increases the size of the backlog from 3 blocks of text on screen to 5 blocks of text on screen.
  • Adds a thematically appropriate scrollbar to the backlog to make looking through the backlog easier.
  • Rebinds "Return to Title" to Esc instead of F12, since Steam screenshots are already on F12.

Update 01: Mod Bug Fixes (2024/06/30)
  • Adjusted text during NVL scenes to prevent obscured text and crashing.

Update 02: Mod Bug Fixes (2025/01/30)
  • The new update on Steam broke the mod and this fixes that issue.

Instructions
  1. Unzip the patch and open the extracted folder.
  2. Open the game's base directory from Steam by clicking the Gear Icon -> Manage -> Browse local files from the game's page in your library.
  3. Drag and drop the TheShell2.pfs.070 file into the game's base directory.
  4. Launch the game and enjoy!

Whenever the mod is updated, please just redownload and overwrite the existing mod file with the updated mod file.
Afterward
If you notice any issues, especially in either Chinese language, since I can't test them as thoroughly, please let me know and I will fix them. Also, there are still things in the game that I would like to fix/add. No promises, but I may update this mod in the future with more fixes and features.

Special Thanks
Laureeeeeeeeeeeeeeen for all the image editing and for putting up with me asking for her to redo the egg slider icon again and again.

The font was almost literally unreadable on the Steam Deck. Thanks for the mod.

Thanks! I just released a new version that makes the mod compatible with the new update, so just redownload and overwrite the older version.

Just writing to say they broke your mod with an update just like with part 1.
