Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
  2. I've tried to find a good source regarding this but have failed to do so. There's seemingly conflicting sources online, as for example in this topic Stewart Gilray (CEO and founder of Just Add Water) mentions how localized voices are available for French and German. Further on, on the PC update page the developers released they mentioned how one of the key changes between the HD release on PC and the original 2010 PC port was the inclusion of French and German audio. Basically, this whole note needs to be rewritten and references properly, and take into account the differences to the original Xbox release, the 2010 PC release, etc. Does the game have localized voices? And if so, what are they limited to? Are cutscenes still only limited to English for both German and French players?[2]
