An example that I didn't use in my update on translation. "Gryph" is an alias; this character's real name is Grigory Filin, and «филин» is a nightowl. That's all sweet and fun, but the translator simply forgot the pun, so it turned out like "Gryph?.. Oh yeah, it's a nickname. He took half his name, Grigory, and half his last name, Nightowl, and became Gryph."

Yeah, doesn't make sense. Also «гриф» means "a vulture" in Russian, so even the basic meaning isn't preserved.

Interesting, I always took Gryph as a "Grifter", the wheeling and dealing swindler who is only on my side if it's convenient for him. Maybe I'm making connections where they're not there >.<

Hello to everyone at Ice Pick Lodge, big fan!

What was the inspiration behind The Void? I'd love to hear anything and everything about the "behind the scenes" of The Void.

You are my favourite development team, and the sheer depth of the stories, the openness to interpretation as well as the open gameplay are just a few of the reasons why I have enjoyed your games so much! I love the fact that you can actually sit down and discuss the meaning behind the dialogue in all of your games.
