Hi SkiYukki,

Thank you so much for taking the time to play and write such a thoughtful comment, especially in your second language. It really means a lot to me!

I'm glad the opening atmosphere pulled you in, and that the weather effects, the lighting, and the Takako and Kitsu dynamic worked for you. Your feedback on the web version's character sizes and the long choice texts is very helpful. I'll look at both.

I should mention that I've only been developing games for about 6 months, so I'm still learning with every release. Comments like yours help a lot.

About other languages: I'm a native German speaker and fluent in English, so English is the only version I can write myself right now. I'd love to offer a translation in the future, though. If I have the text translated, would you be interested in reading it through and telling me if it feels natural? And which language would you prefer? No pressure at all, I'd just be happy to hear your thoughts.

Thanks again for playing!

Wow its my pleasure! OvO My native language is Chinese. It would be wonderful if I could completely experience the text——！hooray～
I've just started making games too，so maybe my feedback is personal or not very mature. Thank you for your tolerance anyway! Cant wait to have a try～

Thanks for the comment, and for telling me about the language barrier. That's useful to know. A Chinese version is something I'm seriously considering, starting with House of Glass. If I do it, I'll say clearly that it's a first draft, and I'd love feedback from native readers on anything that reads oddly or wrong. Would you be interested in reading it once it exists? No obligation at all.

Thanks again for your comment, and for telling me about the language barrier. It made me try something. I've added a Simplified and Traditional Chinese draft to House of Glass: https://storytellermeeka.itch.io/house-of-glass (Preferences → Language). It's a first draft, translated with AI assistance and not yet checked by a native speaker, so it will have mistakes.

If you feel like taking a look, I'd be grateful for anything that reads oddly or sounds wrong, even just a line or two. No obligation at all. I'd rather hear about problems than have them sit unnoticed. And if it works, I'll think about my other games.

Hi SkiYukki! Since we talked about this over on House of Glass — I wanted to let you know Tainted Blood now has Chinese too, both 简体中文 (Simplified) and 繁體中文 (Traditional). You can switch to either right from the main menu, or from Preferences if you're already mid-playthrough.

Same as before: it's AI-assisted and hasn't been checked by a native speaker yet, so I fully expect a few lines will read a bit off. No pressure at all given you're busy with school, but if you ever get a spare moment to try a scene or two, I'd love to know if anything sounds unnatural or unclear — happy to fix it either way.

Thanks again for pushing me to actually do this in the first place!
