Dear Fans, Thank you for playing THE CROOKED MAN. The following changes have been made in this patch. Changed the language setting so that it is configured within the game itself, rather than through the Steam client properties. A language selection prompt will appear when the game is launched for the first time. To change it afterward, press the SHIFT key on the title screen. Thank you for your continued support!
