Hey, I don't know where I should ask... I recently stumbled upon this rare "Gothic clone" called "Heart of Eternity" by "Ukrainian Development Company".

I actually found something on Archive.org and the game runs, but it's in russian language. Can someone maybe help find the english language files? Or an english version of the game?

Thanks in advance :)

OK I'm sorry for double-posting, but I got 2 "WTF am I reading" reactions and it seems like, I can't really edit my initial post?! And I'm not that used to forums anymore sadly. So sorry if it's not allowed here, but I'm also not sure how I can clarify it more in that case.

So, "Heart of Eternity" is a game that was released in 26. February 2009 by "Ukrainian Development Company" and I've found this obscure RPG by watching this video: https://youtu.be/unG8u-3JraU?si=SaEr3wHGj-HD2KdM&t=388 - I've never heard of that before but since I'm a huge Gothic fan, I was instantly interested... and sadly it's not on GOG and not even on Abandonware. But I found a copy on Archive.org and sadly it's a russian only version. It works though, but afaik there's a version with more supported languages (like english, polish, ...), too.

Now I want to know if someone knows where I could get the language files maybe or if someone has any further information about this obscure but interesting looking game :D.

Sorry again, I've scanned the rules, but I'm not sure if I'm doing this right.

Thanks for any help or support here :).

I have no links, but it does sure look to be inspired by the Gothic series.
https://hisgames.org/heart-of-eternity

The only thing I could find about playing in English is some post on RPGWatch from over a decade ago.
Thanks for your reply. The version from hisgames is the same sadly. So Russian only :/.

I've managed to set the resolution to full HD via the config file (after deleting the encrypted one in Documents), there's a line for the language but nothing happens if I change the number. And I've found the sound files etc. in the data directory and there's basically only russian voice lines and so on, so I guess I need to find another multilanguage version somewhere.

Well, it's time to add some more slav jank to the translate list then...

Either learn Russian or wait a couple of years for me to find the time to translate this it it's even possible
