BROK the InvestiGator News

This news is mainly for foreign language users, but I would like to remind players that the recent updates have brought a new accessibility option to play the game narrated in more languages through the use of a text-to-speech software on Windows (via the clipboard with a plugin)

Languages currently fully supported:
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- French

Languages being worked on:
- Italian
- Polish

More information here:

Let me know if you're interested to help with another language!

Best,
Fabrice
