2. Multilingual Support

And as you have noticed, this Update News is written in English... That's because we’ve partnered with professional teams to launch localization for our new Roguelike mode in 6 languages simultaneously: Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, German, French, and Korean.

Additionally, we’ll conduct a second round of proofreading for the German, French, and Korean localization texts that were already in progress — our goal is to bring the unique charm of Out of Hands to players around the world!
