We’ve heard your requests – and we agree! I Want to Believe deserves to be experienced by more players around the world. That’s why we’re working hard to bring Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language support to the game.

Our goal is to deliver a fully localized experience: from UI and subtitles to the detective board, notes, and in-game internet. We want players from China, Japan, and Korea to enjoy the same immersive and eerie atmosphere while solving mysteries in Roswood Valley.

These translations will be added as free updates after release. We are collaborating with professional translators to make sure cultural nuance and tone are preserved, especially since the game leans heavily on humor, sarcasm, and small-town personality.

Stay tuned – we’ll share progress updates and screenshots of localized versions as we go. Your feedback will be invaluable when testing these builds, so if you’re a native speaker, we’d love to hear from you once the beta versions are ready!

Roswood is a strange place – and we can’t wait to open its doors to even more players around the world.
