Koe (声) (tuxdb.com)

Hey guys! This is mostly a QoL/small content update patch which will be followed by another hotfix momentarily that will address some smaller UI, scaling and consistency bugs. The changelog is below. A second patch is planned that will address battle QoL. - [Steam] Added support for Steam Cloud Saves.
- [Help] A help section is now available from the in-game menu. Basic world and battle topics are available here.
- [Voiced audio] Various customisation for the voiced audio section subtitles are now available. You may now also have Japanese directly in the dialogue box, and there is now an option to delay the secondary dialogue for linear sections so the Japanese or English text is only shown after your first choice of dialogue
- [Log] The log now has voiced translations and the ability to re-listen to recent voiced sections. This log is available within the dialogue as well as through the in-game menu.
- [Balancing] Many battle calculation changes were made and earlier battles of the game are now more balanced. Certain fights now also give you a rush of JP before starting. You may now also set your difficulty level depending on your playstyle. If you prefer the grind then the difficulty goes all the way up to 11 and if you want a more relaxed experience then the difficulty can be set down to 1. While this is a content branch update, various smaller bugs were addressed: - [Audio] Various audio was re-mastered to ensure scenes were consistent in volume. - [Audio] Broken or "poppy" voice sections have now been cleaned up. - [UI] Issues related to unclickable settings buttons are now resolved. - [UI] Various overlapping UI sections were addressed and now hide elements when a dialogue or tutorial is playing. - [3D] The bomb and rabbit model now render the updated model correctly instead of falling back to their legacy model. Various smaller cutscene bugs, including the one where the player moonwalks into a scene were also addressed. Sorry if you liked this one, I did too.

In Koe (声) you are sent to Japan as a high school exchange student. Make friends, learn the language and spend time with your homestay family during your time in the rural city of Sakurachou.
Eventually you'll realize this small Japanese city is harbouring a certain perculiarity in its shrine, you'll be transformed and sent on your way to Koe- a world full of cities, caves, shrine, battles along with new friends where your words will be your most powerful weapon.

Using your army of Japanese words you'll be able to attack, defend, heal and grind your way through the vast overworld, while returning to Sakuracho to learn the words you need to strengthen your arsenal. With your friends, will you be able to uncover the mystery of the princess Fleur and her family?

KEY FEATURES

Koe (声) is a narrative driven JRPG-inspired language learning game that aims to introduce the player to the Japanese language over the length of a modern and full RPG. Designed and developed by a team based between Japan, USA, and the UK, Koe (声) is an ongoing development to create a truly unique language learning experience.

A collusion of a rural Japanese city with the fantasy world of Koe is the setting of your journey. As you begin your travels you will find yourself at an airport at the beginning of the game, and will soon travel to your home to the town of Sakurachou. Here you will learn about living in Japan, learning the language and meet a variety of locals along the way. Some native, some from another world.

Your weapon of choice will be the Japanese language itself. By leveling the individual Kana, the building blocks of the Japanese language, you will be taught how to use the language to your advantage in battle as you uncover the secrets of the princess Fleur and the world of Koe.

As items become words, they become your arsenal in your fight against the corruption that threatens Koe. You'll need to learn as much as you can in Sakurachou in order to strengthen the Kana power you have gained, and explore the two worlds to gain as much knowledge as possible.
