Eh

It’s like, not good. Mostly in German I believe. Changing the menu does not guarantee that characters in game speak the selected language, not that menu items will be translated. Aside from that, I just couldn’t get over the language barrier. It might have gotten better, but not if I could not understand what the character hears or reads.

I really like the game but this port isn’t updated

You should just download the game and play it on pc, this port is outdated and the others people made for iOS straight up cost money, the game is REALLY good though!

Font size too big, can't play

I'm playing on an iPhone 11, and the game says "Woah! Your terminal is tiny! This game requires a minimum terminal size of 80X24 to work properly. 66X18 just won't do. Maybe a smaller font would help?" I don't see a way to make the font smaller. Maybe this is a feature that could be added?
