Language Reset Workaround
For players unable to change language settings, the developers provided a numbered workaround to reset configurations:
- Navigate to the local save folder:
AppData\LocalLow\CygnusCross\Emberville\Saves\. - Delete the configuration file
options.eoptto return the game to default configurations. - The developers note that deleting only this file does not erase save data, but advise players not to delete anything else in this folder.
