Entire lines, blocks of text, and a whole bunch of actions aren't translated. They aren't even written with a latin alphabet, so there's no way to guess at what the words are. Worse, there's no voice over for the words either, just silence.

How can this game be marketed as English when there's so very much left untranslated?

As a "final cut" version this is extremely disappointing. GOG should have done their homework before letting this obviously unfinished and buggy game reach their shelves.

Hi,

Could you send us any save games you have for A New Beginning and a few screenshots? Please send the save and screenshots to our Support department.

The save games hsould be located in User\AppData\Daedalic Entertainment\A New Beginning.
I think I noticed 3 points where the menu commands were in Russian, so I woldn't say there's a lot of text untranslated.

I got this game just recently from sale (with plenty of other Daedalic titles) and haven't got time to play it very far yet, but so far it has worked without issues.

However this sounds like it's some sort of localization bug. Original game is in German, so it seems that something got mixed during the localization progress and it shows few lines from wrong localization pack.

BTW this problem might be limited to GOG version only, because I couldn't find anything about in this issue from Daedalic's A New Beginning forum or from Steam and Gamersgate (which also sell the Final Cut).

Have the same issues.
Not only that, but when at a certain point of the game when you are presented with another character, when talking to them for the second time, Bent's voice clip when telling her name is with a different voice actor :P.
I guess from a different language pack.
Btw i'm getting the russian text on actions sometimes.
