Hi everyone,

I’ve pushed a new patch to the beta branch. This update adds support for several new languages that I don’t speak:

• Simplified Chinese

• Japanese

• German

• Russian

• Italian

• Latin American Spanish

• Brazilian Portuguese.

If any of you know one of these language and could quickly check that everything works correctly, it would be greatly appreciated. For any feedback, please use the game’s Steam forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3275880/discussions/4/ or this thread.

How to access the beta version

Hi everyone,

I just found out I can actually post news about Nintendo consoles here on Steam!

So, in case you missed it: the game is now available on Nintendo Switch in Europe, Australia, and America.

Thanks for the support, Matthieu
