Many Blonde questions
I'm a Canadian studying in Germany and have a few questions regarding the English/ German versions of So Blonde
1. Is So Blonde originally an English game or a German one? I know it was written by Steve Ince but where was it developed? 2. Which version is better or our they equally good? 3. Is So Blonde available for retail in Canada/US or is it just download? And for how much about? 4. Does the German version of So Blonde also contain the English version (this was the case with the MAC version of A Vampyre Story) or is it only in German? I'm trying to determine if it's wise to drop the €20 for the German version or if I should play in English. I'd like to play the game in its 'best version'. I have been having too much fun searching out german games for 'language practise'. Thanks, William EDIT: I am also interested in knowing the answer to all 4 questions about Ceville as well. Is it worth playing or getting? Last edited by WRMW; 07-23-2009 at 04:32 AM. Reason: Added Ceville questions |

So Blonde was developed by Wizarbox and I believe it's a German studio. I'm not sure though.

Wizarbox is a French studio, but the game was initially released in German. Of course, being Steve Ince English, I reckon that the original script is in English too.

Of course, if you want the English version, probably cheaper/ easier to order from Amazon.co.uk/ Play.co.uk. Quote:

I hate to be difficult, but I have no PC that I can try out the two versions. I only have internet at the University where I'm currently studying.
I certainly welcome anyone's [highly subjective] opinion on the matter. How about with Ceville? Any ideas on which version is better? |

how subjective's his Oppinion? I mean I'm not saying that it isn't subjective.. But one would assume it's less subjective than that of the average player... I assume he favours the English one because it's closer to how he imagined the game.
