Crying Goose Adds Full Japanese Voice Acting In September Update
The dub arrives for a game whose Mixed reception and developer-added alternate scenarios point to a studio still working to soften a story that users found too dark.

Publisher 2P Games and developer ZerocreationGame announced on September 20 that full Japanese voice acting for Crying Goose will arrive within September, with cast information to be revealed over the coming days. The free update also fixes localization bugs. The PC Steam novel adventure, released in April 2026, sits at Mixed on roughly 8,200 user reviews, about 58% positive.
The Japanese voice cast will be announced in stages rather than all at once, with the update itself due before October. Alongside the dub, the patch addresses localization bugs, a detail that matters for a work whose reception was split partly on how well the text carries its 17th-century Ming collapse setting.
Crying Goose follows Fang Zhiyou, a scholar who loses memories after his childhood friend's suicide and begins seeing people's faces as beasts. The story alternates between a war-ravaged present and a peaceful past, and carries two heroines, Su Lianyan and Lin Pianpian, both courtesans. It released in April 2026 on PC via Steam.
