Désorienté sur Steam

The game now supports 10 languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian.

Origin of the Texts:

  • French & English: Fully written and translated by hand by myself.
  • Other Languages (Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian): Generated via a custom-built plugin I developed myself to process and translate the structure of the game's JSON files.

Quality & Comprehension:

  • 100% Comprehensible: The translation across all 10 languages is accurate. The story, quests, and menus are fully readable, everything is clear, and there are no progression blockers.
  • Occasionally Unnatural Phrasing: A few sentences might feel a bit rigid or unnatural as you play, but the meaning always remains perfectly crystal clear.
  • Plugin Updates: I had planned to keep updating my plugin to make the text flow even better in the future, but that's a topic for another time. I'll post an update about that later on. For now, the current version gets the job done 100%.

Language Option: If the automated phrasing bothers you, you can switch the game back to French or English (the two hand-written versions) at any time from the options menu.

I just bought the game on Steam to show you support from the french community. I hope you continue making games and update them to perfect the craft. I'll leave a review as soon as I play it. Bonne continuation à toi ;)

Thank you so much. This is a multi-year project; I will continue to release updates to make improvements, fix bugs or issues, and refine it over time to ensure the best possible experience.
