Hey everyone! Today we’re launching our Japanese and German beta. That’s over 160,000 forbidden words localised into two totally new languages, probably with a few typos and mis-translations at least. So please: help us make these translations shiny and great!
How to join the beta
- Navigate to your Steam library and find Cultist Simulator
- Right click and select ‘Properties…’
- Select the ‘BETAS’ tab in the top of the pop-up window and choose ‘gateofhorn’ from the drop-down menu
- Click ‘CLOSE’
If you weren’t on the beta branch already, you should see Cultist Simulator begin to update. When it’s finished, open the game. You should see Japanese and German in the ‘Languages’ menu.
Please remember to start a new game when you change language. If you change languages in the middle of a run… well. I hope you brought a top-tier rite and a bucket of luck.
How to submit a bug
Please email any bugs you find to [email protected]. Feel free to submit bugs of any kind (visual, mechanical, language, etc), though we ask that you only include one bug per email. If you find lots of bugs, send us lots of different emails!
Please include a screenshot of the issue if you can, so we can see the problem just as you do. Thank you! 🙏
Particular things to look out for
There are likely to be problems with key-mapping in Japanese (we don’t actually know what keyboards Japanese players use), and of course there are likely to be the occasional missed reference or janky translation in both languages.
How long does the beta last?
We’re releasing final Japanese and German to Steam, GOG and Humble on Thursday 29th October. So please: tell your friends and help us make Cultist Simulator shiny and joyous in time for Halloween! 👻
