I’d like to learn German a bit, and what better way than with adventure games!! Know of any games where you can choose German subtitles to an English spoken voices and vice versa?

The four Deponia games. Vice versa too.

Thanks!! By the time I finish the whole series, my German knowledge will rise to a B2 level.

i dont speak German, but was to keen once for the Ankh trilogy and the third part was already too late and the german release only came out later without any subtitles, i bought it and finished it, don’t ask me how!

Diego, there must also be lots of English adventures officially localized for the German market. Your beloved Touche, for instance. English voices, everything else in German. But new ones too. I advise you to go to the adventure-treff forums and ask the very friendly and helpful regulars. You can speak English there, no problem. If the German registering process is a problem, just holler.

You know you’re master adventurer when you finish a game in a language you don’t understand! Reminds me of the time I played Akella’s The Bad, The Ugly and the Sober in full Russian!

This blog has a lot of unofficial patches adding English subtitles to German-language releases (an example).

Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me of that site!

Yeah, I might join that site - I’m a regular lurker there for some time (though, I don’t like what they done with the site redesign, it was all much simpler and intuitive before that). Thanks!

Never. I think they (or unofficial fan) added an English subtitles some time after I’ve played it.
