It's been our absolute pleasure and privilege to work on the localisation of One-Eyed Likho into 6 languages! We've learnt a lot about folklore from various countries, and how similar tales are passed on from generation to generation throughout different cultures! Beware the Likho! 💀👁️💀

Today is the launch of One-Eyed Likho, a gorgeous, twisted little horror game steeped in Slavic folklore. I had the joy of working with loc collective @thewarlocs.bsky.social , especially translator @preymak.com, to edit the game's English text. What a treat!

Will you dare to play this *highly* addictive auto battler? We sure had lots of fun playing the demo, almost as much as we had while localizing it into 7 languages!
So gather your squad, experiment with builds, and DESTROY THAT CURSED FLESH!!! 💀☠️💀
