We are very aware of how important localization is—especially for a story-driven game like Venice After Dark.
At the moment, however, we simply don’t have the resources to support all the languages we would love to include. We hope the game will be well received so we can reinvest the revenue and gradually add more language options in the future.

If you have any ideas or know someone who could help us with translations, we would love to hear from you!
Feel free to reach out to us here on Steam or via our social media channels.

Thank you so much for your support!
