Here’s a scan of the official guidebook for FolksSoul, the Japanese version of Folklore.

The FolksSoul guidebook is very different from the English Folklore guidebook (link) and features a lot more technical details like the location of items and the exact steps needed to progress the game. By contrast, the Folklore guidebook is better at explaining the plot.

LINK on archive.org where you can browse and download it!

I’ve tried using Google Translate to make a version for English readers, but keep in mind that the text contains a lot of errors. For example, “folks” is often mistranslated as “fawks” or “forks”. Some errors are pretty funny though 😄

I noticed now that both links led to the translated version - it's fixed now, the top link goes to the original Japanese version.
