Translation Update


Type Help is now available in German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and Arabic!

Thanks to Andreas Weis for providing the German translation, Ervino from EscapersBR for the Brazilian Portuguese translation, Enrico Baudolino for the Italian translation, and Ali Al Daqqaq for the Arabic translation. It's wonderful to be able to offer the game in so many languages, and I can't thank all of you enough.

(If you're wondering who EscapersBR are, you can find more on their website at https://www.escapersbr.com/.)

How the new translations work:

  • All scene names are kept the same as the English version.
  • Most location names have been translated. However, they should now be followed by the location code in brackets — e.g. Sótão (AT).
  • All typed commands are still in English. However, the game accepts non-English words inside the command — e.g. "find sótão".
  • The hangman game still only accepts English letters.
  • Where relevant, the text has been altered to reflect the fact that you are reading a translation.
  • Where relevant for progression, English words are included in brackets.

I hope this proves to be the best way of implementing the translations. If you run into any issues, please let me know in the comments.

It's hard to verify everything myself, and I anticipate I may have to iron out a few issues that I've introduced. In particular, the Arabic translation has required a bit of work to get it to look right, so please let me know if any of the formatting looks out of place.

Additionally, the following changes have been made:

  • The acts are now split 0–6, 7–13, 14–20, 21–26. This is how it was in the original version of the game, but it seems I accidentally changed it in a previous update, and I have no idea how it escaped my attention for so long. Thanks to those who pointed it out.
  • A couple of small fixes for the Japanese translation are also included in this update.
  • I've also hopefully fixed issues where older saves weren't working with the new updates. Please let me know if issues persist.
