Life in Rio news & patch notes

🚀 Version 0.82 Available!

First of all, I want to thank everyone who bought the game and interacted with me by sharing suggestions and improvements that helped the overall experience. I truly listened to all of you, and this update is a direct result of the community’s support.

Fixes

• The bug where Arthur did not appear naked in front of Mrs. Lourdes has been fixed. He now appears correctly in the scene.

New translations The game now includes new languages:

• French

• German

• Turkish

• Spanish

• Russian

• Simplified Chinese

The Russian and Simplified Chinese translations required a lot of work and unfortunately delayed the release of this update. There are still a few issues in these two languages: when using the in-game phone, character images may not appear because these languages change the game’s font.

I would also like to apologize for the translation quality. At the moment, I don’t have enough resources to hire a professional translator, so I used Google Translate. I know this is not ideal, but it was the only way I could make the game accessible in more languages for now.

Story updates

• Two new scenes added, with more than 300 renders in total:

  • One on the bus while Elza is returning home

  • Another when Alice invites her to buy drugs

Important To unlock Elza’s scene with the drug dealers:

• You must use cocaine with Manjuba.

• If you already completed this part and have an old save, you will need to replay this section, as new code was added to properly trigger the scene.

Once again, thank you so much for the growing community and for all the positive comments. I will share news about future updates very soon.

❤️ Thank you all for the support!
