Development Update 2 – Localization, Audio Improvements and Basement Progress

Steam post image Hello everyone,

here’s a quick development update on the current progress of Echoes of Sin: Confusion.

### Localization

Additional language support has been added to the game. The UI and subtitles are now fully functional in the following languages:

• English

• Czech

• Slovak

• Chinese (Simplified)

• Italian

• Portuguese (Brazil)

• Portuguese (Portugal)

• Spanish

• Polish

French and German localization are currently being finalized.

We are also still looking for translators for Russian and Japanese.

### Improved Audio Accessibility

The audio system has been expanded with more detailed control options. Players can now independently adjust:

• Master volume

• Ambient sounds

• Music

• SFX

SFX now also includes sub-categories for specific gameplay elements such as **jumpscares** and **footsteps** (both enemy and player).

### Basement Level Progress

The **Basement level** is now fully completed from a world-building perspective and part of the gameplay has already been implemented.

Work is currently underway on a new **code lock system**. We are experimenting with different ways for players to discover the keypad codes that unlock new doors. At the moment we are still deciding between a classic UI approach or a more immersive hover-based interaction, similar to the systems used in older Doom titles.

### Audio Expansion

Around **350 new sound effects** have been added and fully implemented into the game.

Localization audio cues have also been improved to help guide the player through certain situations.

In addition, an **anti-softlock system** is being introduced in specific areas to prevent players from getting stuck without knowing what to do next.

The guidance will not be explicit. Instead, the game will provide **subtle visual and audio hints** if the player spends too much time in one location (roughly 5–10 minutes).

Thank you for following the development and for all the support so far.
