Fix the Russian / Cyrillic menu
How to Change The False Sun to English
If The False Sun opens with a Russian or Cyrillic first screen, use the language setting inside the game rather than downloading an unofficial English patch. Two recent players on Oniray’s official itch.io page independently point to the third option on the starting menu; from Settings, choose the visible English option. Shipped game UI research also confirms a built-in English language action.
English steps: from the starting menu choose the THIRD option, open the language control in Settings, then select English. Current official-page player comments confirm the same route, and the shipped UI contains an explicit Language("english") action.
How to change The False Sun into English
On the starting menu, choose the third option. Two recent player replies on Oniray’s official itch.io page independently identify that third option as the route into Settings; one of those replies then says to find the visible word “English” and select it.
Project research on the shipped UI independently found an explicit Language("english") action. That confirms English is built into the game UI and supports the same solution without relying on an unofficial translation patch.
- Step 1 — open the starting menu.
- Step 2 — choose the THIRD menu option to enter Settings.
- Step 3 — open the language control.
- Step 4 — choose English.
Why is The False Sun showing a Russian / Cyrillic menu?
Several current players on the official itch.io page report the game opening with Russian or Cyrillic text when they expected English. The public comments checked for this guide do not establish the cause, so this page does not turn player guesses about the developer or default locale into an official explanation.
What is supported is the fix: the current game has an in-game English selector. A Cyrillic first screen therefore does not by itself prove you downloaded a Russian-only edition, and it is not a reason to install an unknown fan patch.
- Observed: current players report a Russian/Cyrillic first screen.
- Cause: not established in the current public evidence checked here.
- Fix: use the third starting-menu option and select English.
- Source safety: keep the official Oniray itch.io build instead of searching for an English patch.
Do I need a separate English download or patch?
No separate English-specific file is listed on Oniray’s current download page. The official release is split by platform—Windows/Linux, macOS, and Android—while the English choice is inside the game UI.
That means language and installation are separate tasks. If the game opens but the text is Cyrillic, use the third menu option and change the language. If the file will not launch at all, fix the Mac or Android installation problem first and only then use the in-game language menu.
- English: use the built-in language selector.
- Windows/Linux, macOS, Android: choose the official platform file first.
- Mac cannot open: use the dedicated Mac guide.
- Android cannot install: use the APK / Android guide.
What if I still cannot reach the English setting?
First confirm that the game itself reaches the starting menu. If it does, retry the third option before changing anything else. The current player reports that solved the Russian-to-English problem without a reinstall.
If you cannot reach the menu because the app does not open, stop treating it as a language problem. Use the official download source and the platform-specific launch guide, then return to the language steps after the game starts.
- Can reach the starting menu: retry the third option → Settings → English path.
- Cannot launch the app: fix installation first.
- Do not install an unofficial English executable, patch, or APK just to change the menu language.
