Deluge: Threnody of Crashing Waves
The grapes of wrath have fully ripened — their vines bring forth an intoxicating fruit.
Abe never chose to come to Abbotsford. The village glows in a rural backwardness that fills him with a lingering dread. Soon however, things begin to look up, as he is hired as a delivery boy by Ina, the headstrong editor-in-chief of the school paper.
Before long Abe and Ina begin to uncover unsettling details about the island's past, including the mysterious evacuation of over half its populace. Gradually, they become caught up in an intricate web of political corruption, organized crime, and a highly secretive local church.
Deluge: Threnody of Crashing Waves is a mysterious visual novel with psychological and lovecraftian undertones.
Languages: English (ENG), Español (ESP), 日本語 (JPN), Русский (RUS), Polski (POL), Dutch (NLD)

Great art and dramatic writing
Hello! Good Games, thanks)))
Deluge: Sermon for the Dead and The Raintime cool too)))
Thank you for the Youtube coverage and the help you have provided with translating! Cool that you played 'The Raintime', it's set in the same universe as Deluge. :)
تبدوا رائعا لكن أتمنى ان يتم إضافة لغه عربيه حتى نستطيع انا او غيري من تجربته 😇🙏🏻

Thank you for showing interest in Deluge. We're committed to bringing this game in as many languages as possible. Currently, teams are working on a German and a Turkish language release.
If you happen to know people who'd like to help with creating an Arabic language translation, please let me know. :)
"لدي اقتراح، لكن لست متأكدًا إذا كان مفيدًا بالنسبة لك أم لا. يمكنك استخدام chatGPT للترجمة، لأن ترجمته تكون أدق بكثير من ترجمة قوقل. لذا يمكنك تجربته إذا أردت🙏🏻
Translation AI has become pretty good lately, although you'll need a last check by a human translator for the language not to feel 'off'.
I could probably generate an AI translated Arabic translation file for this game for you to check. The main thing I'm worried about is how the game will handle RTL and LTR text in the same file.
For the game itself we should probably be able to set config.rtl conditionally. But I'm wondering about the translation file specifically.
If you'd like to help with this project, you can contact me at leaves@socah.org :)
hi.
could you add image descriptions to make this game more blind-friendly?
Hi, sounds like a good idea,
Would you be interested in helping me find out if the Renpy engine supports this natively? It has quite a few accessibility options, so I can imagine there would be something in place.
Thank you for reaching out :)
there are some tools.
don't have the links handy, but there's one made by theo and another made by npckc.
both are on itch.
Thank you, I think this is it: Caption Tool for Ren'Py by npckc (itch.io)
I'm going to look into how big of a project it would be to implement this (without completely refactoring the game.)
From what I've found I have a feeling it may be a bit of a project, but maybe I'm being pessimistic. If anyone from the blind community (or otherwise) is interested in helping with this please feel free to contact me.
yes.
there's another one called by theo here on itch.
just looking at theo's profile page, for the tool could help.
I played the first part, it was cool with very nice graphics and music. The story itself was also quite unusual with all the mystery surrounding it, which sometimes felt like it would turn into fantasy. Time to try the second part !
Hi Hadlandish, Thank you for your kind words and for the coverage you have been doing on youtube. We've enjoyed watching your gameplay videos over the past few weeks. Also: the last ending route is coming out soon.
Cant wait for it!
