Private Moon Studios' Miazma Download Won't Install - 12/11/17 12:14 AM

I found the game Miazma on the Private Moon Studios website. It appears to be the full game since the file size is 4.21 GB. I don't speak Hungarian but I was hoping that if I installed the game that I might find a folder with the Hungarian subtitles and run them through Google Translate. It would be better than nothing. For in game items that I would have to read like journals or newspaper articles, I was planning on using the Google Translate app on my iPhone. It's really cool because I just set the language that I want to translate into English, tap the camera icon, hold up my iPhone towards the computer screen, and then all the foreign words get translated into English and I can see them on my iPhone. The trouble is that after I download Miazma, the installation doesn't work. It installs 5 .sfl files and then it stops. Here's the link to the download page if anyone wants to try to download the game. Maybe you'll have better luck than I do. http://miazma.privatemoon.com/miazma---letoltesek.html

Since you are describing a technical problem, I have moved your post over to Glitches. wave12

They are working on an English version (both speech and subtitles in English).
Why don't you wait for that?

philthethrill10, thanks for the news!

I have been looking for this game since it came out in 2015 as a DVD supplement to some Hungarian magazine, and the authors could not tell me how to get it.
So, they have finally released it for free, which is just great!

No, I do not speak Hungarian as well, and yes, they did tell they are working on an English version, - but it is so long ago that they were going to do that, and to release 'Youmurjak' on PC again, and to make the new 'Agon' game... No news since then unfortunately - so it's nice to have at least this version available.

I have downloaded and installed 'Miazma' without any problems!
There are 5 .sfl files in 'Game' directory, yes, but you can launch the game via the link or by miazma.exe in the main folder.

Thanks Iurii. I went to the Private Moon Studios folder and started the game by clicking on the Miazma icon. I noticed that there's no way to gain access to the subtitles so I'm going to have to use the Google Translate app on my iPhone the whole time when I'm listening to conversations. I tried it with one of the first characters that Jonathan Hunt can interact with. The Google Ttranslate app got most of the words so I was able to understand the conversation. I sometimes had to move my iPhone so that the Google Translate app would translate the words, and it's hard on my arm to hold my iPhone in a certain position for a while. It's better than nothing though. The alternative would be to take lots of pictures and have the Google Translate app look through them all one by one.

Hmm, it seems that the English version is available as well! See: http://www.atomki.hu/miazmaeng
Unfortunately, it needs a code - and I could not see any option to buy it on Private Moon website.
I have written to their press contacts...

And here is the answer I got:

Quote:
Yes, Miazma was released in Hungarian and the proper English version is being finalized. There was a special educational version in English for the sponsor, but we don't distribute it. That is not the final version anyway. We are hoping to get it released soon.

Google translate is not the best in Hungarian... It is worth waiting for a proper English release :) But it will not be a free game. Please note that the link mentioned is not a public release.
