Before you dive in, here are some tips:
1. If you're using a non-16:9 screen, it is recommended to set it to window mode to play the game. 2. If you're playing on a Steam Deck, we recommend setting it to window mode and cranking up the resolution to 1280x720 for the best visuals.

Multilanguage Support From the Community
While we can't currently add more languages to the game on our own, there was a suggestion by hexaae to allow the community to help with localization. I'm attaching the google documents for you to edit so that once a document is completed and checked we could add those extra languages to the game.
Will add more documents for other languages if suggested!
We are also glad to announce that more than 145000 players have obtained Tales of the Neon Sea, either on Steam, or during our Humble Choice run. To appreciate your love and support, the teams are doing our best to land the game on as many platforms as possible, including EGS, GOG, Prime Gaming, GFN, Stadia, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch, etc.

We are super excited to announce that we have started the console ports! Tales of the Neon Sea is targeted to launch on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch in late 2021.
