So I started playing game because someone recommended me for good story. After playing 30 Min I am having hard time to follow dialogues. Half of them sound gibrish to me. I am not native speaker but I read most of stuff on English.. whole dialogues reads weird and kinda inside joke, where us foreigners don't understand a shit..
Am I only one who has this problem ?

If you’re not a native English speaker, you will at times struggle with the dialogue and understand it as the devs intended. That’s absolutely fine. You aren’t the first and I’m certain you won’t be the last. A one star review is pretty ugly though for something that isn’t really the issue of the developers.

Well that's issue for some players, when half of the dialogue feels like MTL.. For those in Anglo spare it might not be problem and easy to follow but for rest its pain

If you can't follow the dialogue or aren't getting (inside) jokes that's on you, not the developers. You either need to better your English or brush up on your pop culture knowledge. And no, I'm no native speaker either. Also, instead of dropping a one-star review based on the allegedly overdone humor, you could add something constructive…
…like suggesting the developers add a Simplified English version (by way of a translation). But why actually try helping this so called 'rest' that's oh so struggling with the Otters' writing, eh? Well done you.

My point stands, its not my job to do research on pop culture to understand basics of dialogue. Specially when its overdone. If developer ever does "Translation" for us poor folks who can better understand simplified version of English, Then I would gladly change ratingIf you can't follow the dialogue or aren't getting (inside) jokes that's on you, not the developers.

It's not inside jokes you're necessarily missing, but idioms or phrases that mean different things to more proficient or native speakers. You simply can't translate idioms easily from any language to another. As someone who's trilingual, you just have to individually learn all of the idioms/unique phrases of each language if you want to understand them. That's seriously not a dev problem. It's only a problem in reverse if the dev is not a native speaker and can't translate an idiom from their language to english. This may be the first time on these boards where I've seen someone complain the english is too good lol. So much better than broken english with basic sentences.My point stands, its not my job to do research on pop culture to understand basics of dialogue. Specially when its overdone.

You tickle our little Otter hearts pink, thank you for replying to that so we don't have to! That, my dear friends, is another idiom.If you can't follow the dialogue or aren't getting (inside) jokes that's on you, not the developers.

If others can't read the Before You Play section, that's on them. We literally tell you that this brand of humor might sound weird in spots. It's supposed to be and we are never changing it.
If you read the other reviews, those are the ones we care about. Yes, the three stars to the four stars to the five stars. Because while they are critical, they aren't obscure and wildy biased.
Good thing Otters are so happy!
We're going to go swim now! Thanks for being a splashy good friend!

So I finally got the time to play the game and I'm very surprised by how funny it is!! Anyway, I reached the second part and there's one observation I had. The other characters keep commenting on the MC being a dick but the thing is that he really isn't that big of an ass. It's one thing for us the player to feel it but it's more that everyone else is telling the MC that he's a dick rather than us perceiving it. Rather at some points it was more like a few characters were being dicks to the MC instead.
Understandably, MC has a chip on his shoulder about the injury and some of his sarcastic responses are harmless and a coping mechanism really. So only thing I have to say is that I'd like less for the other characters themselves to call the MC a dick. He's a much better written character than many other protagonists.

This game poses the hardest question in this world:
This game also manages to succumb to the worthwhile answer:

I do have to agree with you. Though I don't think it's that bad. I'm not a native English speaker either but I can understand most things just fine. Sure, there is a lot of inside jokes, slang and American culture reference. Sometimes there is jokes or references I don't get but I do know that they're joking so I just like uh-huh, whatever and go on with the story.
I did play and watched plenty of western games and movies/ tv show so I'm familiar with many jokes, figure of speech...etc but I can see for foreigner who only learn English at school it can be quite confusing.

That rock climbing place would've been sued to high hell(Unless they have a contract that says they aren't liable for injury). First a rock comes off, and then they have the nails exposed! What a shit company.
The game's good so far though, good job otter. Unfortunately, seeing those nails go into the MC's knee gave me some phantom pains and now I can't sit still.

Because no one else seems to do it:
Ello Otters!
We hope you're having a great swim in the Otter Pool! We have been very, very busy here getting everything otterly optimal for further Chapter production.
Chapter 2 (v0.2.2) is fully written and coded. We are simply using it as training for the newest Otters. We are aiming for the first week of May for getting it to you to play!
Now an update for Chapter 3! It is 90% written and edited with that 10% being fluid based on things we may think of to add while floating in the water.
Programming is in full swing as well! About 35% of it is programmed right now with about 20% being implemented each week.
Design is in queue for our artist Otter. Once we are finished with v0.2.2, he will design the new scenes and we then concentrate on posing and rendering, which would be about a 2 month thing.
With how big Chapter 3 is, we are actually quite far along on building her. We have a few really big Otter rewards coming up though! We think your whiskers are going to be tickling with excitement.
Splish-splash!

It's rare when I like every single main/side girl in a game. It's still early, but I think this may be one of those games. And I love that you aren't forced to date any of the girls if you don't want to. Good stuff.
Ello ello!
Coming mid-May is the Point and Click Sphere update. These are our middle updates between chapters that add the Point and Click Spheres once Patrons have given us their opinions on which areas of Chapter 2 they wanted to explore more. Expect to continue side-stories with the characters you met in the first Chapter's spheres and more! Again, this is all side-content and has no impact on the main story.
That also means we are about 2-3 months away from Chapter 3... and Chapter 3 is huge! We're talking about 2-3 hours long.
Thank you so much for playing our game, and we can't wait for you to swim in the waters we have for the future!
