changedAbout LocalizationPlease note that this is a solo-developed game. While I'm comfortable with English (e.g. writing this post), localizing a narrative-heavy game is a lot of work. As such, the demo, as well as the initial release, will unfortunately only be available in Chinese. English localization may be considered after the full release of the game, depending on player interest, sales performance, and available resources.
