The detective mystery is free on PC via Steam and in browser via itch.io, and the Steam version supports Japanese, selected with the Japanese flag at the start. The game casts Delphine, a psychic, investigating two deaths at a North Borneo tobacco plantation in 1941.","whyItMatters":"A free detective game with 95% positive reviews from 4,910 Steam user reviews now reaches Japanese players, the audience most directly addressed by its 1941 Borneo setting and the Japanese military landing that the case turns on.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese support arrives through the Steam build, where players pick the Japanese flag at the start of the game. The Red Pearls Of Borneo released on Steam in March 2026 and has drawn 95% positive reviews from 4,910 Steam user reviews, enough for an Overwhelmingly Positive rating.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case itself is set in April 1948, when Delphine in London receives a letter from J. Goodwill Jr. about his father and younger sister Rune, who died in 1941 at the Goodwill Tobacco Plantation in North Borneo. Delphine can sense past scenes at a place and time she can identify, and players build a timeline from those identifications. Hard Mode turns off overall timeline tracking and hints.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Red Pearls Of Borneo ships Japanese subtitles only in the Steam build, chosen with a flag at the start. Browser players on itch.io get the same free mystery without that option, so the update splits one audience in two.","twitterPost":"The Red Pearls Of Borneo adds Japanese subtitles to its Steam build only. The free itch.io browser version has no flag to select them.","threadsPost":"The Red Pearls Of Borneo now has Japanese subtitles, but the flag that switches them on sits in the Steam build. The free itch.io browser version carries no equivalent option, so Bushmonkey Games has one mystery with two different language setups depending on where you play.","newsletterBlurb":"Bushmonkey Games added Japanese subtitles to The Red Pearls Of Borneo on November 12, selectable through the Japanese flag at the start of the Steam version.
