I was gonna say you can excuse the bad english by making the videogame figure a foreigner who occasionally makes those mistakes, but then i realized, why would she speak (and think!) in english?

@vinny@alex Another Russian game with gloriously badly translated dialogue (but somehow with kinda professional sounding voice actors trying to make sense of their incomprehensible lines) is the space sim Dark Horizon from 2008. Throughout the missions there's a non-stop barrage of nonsense spouted from your wingmen, and it's kinda beautiful.

I speak Russian and I have all the answers for those "hopes" you have. This unique blend of translation was achieved by translating the script word by word instead of translating the sentences whole. Perhaps the spoken dialogue was done before they found a translator for the written script. Whomever did it decided to just look up the words in the dictionary and put them in the exact same position they would go in the Russian script. Sadly there is a second problem. The Russian script is not so hot either. It sounds very stilted in Russian and makes only slightly more sense.

The last line in the elevator sequence is "And still, nothing happened like I hoped it would" or something like that.

Thanks for posting this. MYSTERY SOLVED.

A Quick Look where I didn't have to turn up the volume to a ridiculous level... and then deafen myself when I try to play music afterwards?!

I don't want Vinny and Alex to cover games that are good anymore. I just want them to do cheap indie games on Steam, forever.

If I had to guess they just translated it using Google Translate. What's most funny about that is they used that as the script for the voice actor too. I've never seen that before.

But ya the position of words in the sentences stick out like a direct translation.

At least this game seems appropriately priced, though. I think 2$ is fair for this games quality. I got a good laugh out of it at least.

Someone needs to tell horror game developers that flashlight batteries have actually been known to last significantly longer than three minutes, though that seems like the least of this game's problems.

The GBEast crew has really come into their own with the Quick Looks. I find them consistently entertaining beyond expectations. Vinnie and Alex have perfect sense of humor chemistry, if thats even a thing.

Just wanted to let them know im truly enjoying their work.

Sure the game might not be great at all, but at least its priced properly. Unlike most of the crap that is being released lately where they are asking $10-$20 for games that aren't even as good as this. Like that Lex Mortis game or Blackwater Bay or whatever.... ugh. At least saying up front "Hey, our game isn't great. It's $2. I'd buy it on principal alone.
