Eternal Strands (2025)

Work: Game Translation
Volume: 25,000 words
Genre: Fantasy RPG

This game was a joy to work on. The reference material I received and the communication with the client and my colleagues were wonderful. I especially enjoyed that the game not only had non-binary characters, but the client also wanted the whole localization to use gender-inclusive language. This is always a challenge in German, one that I happily accepted. You can read more about the game here.

Echoes of the Plum Grove (2024)

Work: Translation  
Volume: 15,000 words
Genre: Cozy Farming Game
Platform: PC/Steam

This cozy and, at times, macabre farming game was a pleasure to translate. The whimsical lines left room for creativity, while the inclusion of a non-binary pronoun option for all characters was a welcome challenge.
