Spoiler below!

I'm interested to know if they have multilingual support. And even, like Penumbra Overture, german voices.

So, is there multilingual support, just the texts or even a full localization?

Mainly I mean german language.

Why would you even want localization in AMFP? Don't mean any disrespect but with all your big talk about immersion I would think you would want to use subtitles. Not to say localization is not a noble pursuit, it just never works out, especially not for an indie game. The only dub I have seen that was on par with the original English version is Puss in Boots, which honestly I think is a milestone in film localization.

EDIT: I'm talking about the Spanish localization of course.

Hah, the german localization of Overture is even better than the original english!
The voices, the language style, that's more impressively than the original.

And I also don't want to use subtitles, because reading a text during gameplay will pull you off from the game.
And you can't read a text and look at the environment at same time. So, a multilingual full support would be very important, when it's made well like in Penumbra Overture.

Hm, I see where you're coming from... I suppose they might have localization. After all Frictional have a bit more money now than they used to
But why not try out the english version? It might be hard at first, but playing games in their original english language is how I learned english!

Just don't make the mistake of switching on german subtitles - that actually doesn't help at all with learning. Because in order to really learn a language you have to resist translating what you hear in your head and instead grasp the meaning of the word immediately. Basically, after a while you start thinking in english as soon as you hear it and after you get to that point it becomes easier and easier.

I first played english games with english subtitles to get used to the way things were pronounced and then switched those off after a while. Now I get to enjoy my games in their intended glory because - few exceptions aside - most games are horribly localized.

Yeah, I know, most games are really horrible localized. As you said, they have money and this will mean they should support more languages. I don't want to lean english when playing a game! I want to understand the story!!! English do I lean here, but please not in a game. I do not play a game to lean english.
I mean, Penumbra Overture had a publisher, that was "Kalypso Media" or something. In Black Plague it was "Paradox Interactive", but they only did english voices so that I have to read subtitles and I hate that to read subtitles!!! That breaks the immersion for me.
When Overture was in german and even russian, why they couldn't keep that on?
