Hey backyardzoo! I just played through the Mayfly demo—the 3D audio and 90s atmosphere are incredibly immersive.

I’m a technical Translator localizer and I’ve noticed that 'quiet horror' games like yours are currently seeing a massive surge in popularity among Arabic and Japanese streamers. I can help you tap into these markets by localizing your UI, Story Text (which is very rich!), and Store Page for a flat fee of $25.

I can handle the Unity integration directly so it's 'plug and play' for you. Would you be open to a quick chat about getting Mayfly in front of a global audience? Here is My Email to contact [locuiux@gmail.com]

really enjoyed your demo!
