There's a lot of text in the game, so I had to turn to modern AI tools for help. Besides, I'm just a humble developer from a distant and cold country, and I simply don't have the means to hire professional localizers.

It turned out to be a real challenge! Not only is there a ton of text, but it's also written using complex words and phrasing that sound great in my native language but are extremely difficult to translate into others.

Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on any aspect of the game. I would be very grateful for your feedback and the opportunity to connect with players from anywhere in the world. It's important for me to know how players feel about the project, because I'm currently working on the sequel and want to take all wishes and suggestions into account.

Peace and good vibes to everyone!

Yours truly,

Scientist Doctor.
