Dear Explorers,

Here's a surprise update for you: Curious Expedition 2 is now also available in French, German, Japanese and Korean!



We're really excited to make the game available to a new audience, and we'd love to hear your impressions before the Steam Early Access phase ends at the beginning of 2021.

These 4 new languages, in addition to English and Simplified Chinese, are all the ones we will support for now. Once version 1.0 is released we will consider involving our community to crowdsource the localisation in other languages, like we did for the first game.

If you'd like to support us please tell your friends about the game, ask your favourite streamers to play it and if you encounter any issues, you can submit a report using the Bug! button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
