Great news! I previously posted a poll on my Patreon page, and based on the results, I’ve now added five new languages, including fully translated UI. This means settings, menus, dialogues, narrations, everything is fully covered.

For now, this update is limited to the demo version. The three scenes included in the demo are now available in your native languages. You can find the language option in the game’s Settings section.

Newly added languages:

  • Russian

  • Simplified Chinese

  • Italian

  • French

  • Portuguese (Brazil)

(Hinglish didn’t make it this time because it’s quite challenging to translate, and I couldn’t find a native speaker to proofread it. I’ll add it later when I have more time.)

I was planning to add more languages, but I need to take a break from this and resume rendering. It’s already been a while since the last major update, so I need to shift my focus back to that.

Meanwhile, if you’re a native speaker of any of these five languages, I’d love for you to play the game in your language and share your feedback on the translation. Your input (positive or negative) is very important and will help determine the best approach for translating the full game.

That’s all for now. Back to work 🖐️
