[Escape from the Universe is now available in Japan for Nintendo Switch!](https://www.famitsu.com/news/202010/22208080.html)

This is a Japanese version of our [English (for Americas and Europe) version](https://cat-astrophe-games.party/escape-universe/).

As some of you know, I’m wearing two hats — I’m the author of _Castle Game Engine_ and I’m the CTO of [Cat-astrophe Games](https://cat-astrophe-games.com/), an indie game company where we plan to achieve great things with our technical skills, and also cats. _Escape from the Universe_ was developed by _Cat-astrophe Games_ some time ago, ported to [Nintendo Switch](https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/wiki/Nintendo-Switch), and now it has been translated to Japanese — all 100% in _Castle Game Engine_! The Japanese localization and a ton of testing was done by [Worker Bee Inc.](https://www.wkb.jp/)

The whole approach to localization is 100% open-source and part of CGE: see the manual section [Localization (translation) using CastleLocalizationGetText](https://castle-engine.io/manual_text.php#section_localization_gettext). I hope this shows that our localization support is fully capable of handling a large, professional project, done in cooperation by 2 companies.

If you have [Nintendo Switch](https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/wiki/Nintendo-Switch), you have now no excuse not to play this game 🙂
