Ukrainian voiceover is already in the game!

I was a bit late adding full Ukrainian voiceover to the game, so we didn’t manage to finish it before the start of Ukrainian Games Fest 2025. But I did manage before it ended.

changedVoiceover is the final stage of development — you get to it when you know the game is close to the finish line. Today I fully wrapped up collaboration with American and Ukrainian dubbing actors (not sure if that’s the right term). In total, 3 professional American VO actors and 8 Ukrainian actors took part — voices you’ve heard in movie theaters, on streaming shows, and even on TV.
addedEven though I don’t really like the prologue in I Want to Believe , I decided to keep it in the full version — and paid for its dubbing as well. Besides the prologue, the voiceover has already been added to the main story. The game is now in the stage of pre-release polishing and bug fixing. Over time, the release date was pushed back 4–5 times, but September 15, 2025 is now the final release date .

There are surprisingly few games in the world with professional Ukrainian voiceover. Apart from a few AAA titles like Stalker or Metro, it’s hard to name many off the top of your head. So don’t deny yourself such a rare experience. The first time I went all-in on this was in my debut Steam release — Timeloop: Sink Again Beach — and I’ve never regretted it. I can even say it was the main news hook and key selling feature of the game.
