===German version===
 +
The original German retail release is version 1.3 (whereas most current English version is 1.2). Quality of German text translation is so bad that it makes game mechanics incomprehensible. German retail release [https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=5975564 is censored]. The Steam version doesn't include German. The GOG release includes a German version, and this one is completely uncensored - however, its texts are even more broken.<ref name="German"/> Use English texts if possible.

German version

The original German retail release is version 1.3 (whereas most current English version is 1.2). Quality of German text translation is so bad that it makes game mechanics incomprehensible. German retail release is censored. The Steam version doesn't include German. The GOG release includes a German version, and this one is completely uncensored - however, its texts are even more broken.[4] Use English texts if possible.
