Psychological thriller Loretta will be released on consoles PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch until the end of this year. A mobile version is also planned. About it “Gambling” told the Russian developer Yakov Butuzov. Recall that the game will be released on February 16 in Steam, GOG and Epic Store.
The game will be released in the following languages: Russian, English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. As the developer noted, in a story game, the text will be constantly on the screen in front of the eyes of the audience, so the translation requires increased attention.
“Besides, there is a nuance in the English version. Loretta is southern. And I wanted her to feel like a grown-up Quentin from The Sound and the Fury or the heroine of The Grapes of Wrath. Therefore, it took a lot of time to create an authentic accent. In general, the concept has not changed! I did what I planned, long before the release, and already spent the last months of work on tests and preparing translations.

The developer noted that Loretta will be released immediately and in its entirety. The story of the heroine in the game is revealed. As for additions or a plot continuation, it is possible to release a spin-off about another character. But it depends on a number of factors, including how much players will enjoy the original game. Recall, will publish the game Dangen Entertainment.
“I was lucky with Dangen. This small team of game-loving people. I am familiar with everyone. And played published games. Nobody offended me. And he never once asked me to change something sacramentally important, to change it creatively. Although, I think they had every right, because sometimes I get carried away.
I think today without a publisher is doubly, triple hard. The publisher has three big responsibilities: budget, advertising, and translation. And most importantly, in my case, it provides access to an audience that I myself would hardly have made my way to. My expectations were fully justified.”

The plot will introduce the story of the housewife Loretta, who with her husband, a writer from New York, moved into a dilapidated farmhouse. In the countryside, they had to face poverty and failure. But then the main character found her husband’s life insurance. And a plan was born in the woman’s head, which the player will have to help implement or not.
When passing, you will have to choose branches of dialogue, interact with objects and make decisions.
