If you have questions about specific phrases, I am happy to help both explain their meaning and change some emoji to improve their readability. We've already reworked dozens of phrases, discovering, for example, that the same emoji mean completely different things to different peoples, and will continue to work on this until the game's release.
Don't suffer, wait for the English version, a preview of which is currently available to patrons. Emoji convey imagery, not specific words, so a simple dictionary won't help, unfortunately.
There are hints in the game for each quest. If you miss some of them, Lee repeats them when he dreams at night.
