=== Subtitles ===
For subtitles support, download the SUBTITLES.MIX file from the [https://scummvm.org/games/#addons-bladerunner ScummVM Games download page] and place this in the same game directory. Currently, the provided file will work with all available and supported localized versions of the game, but will only show English subtitles in all but the French version, which will show French subtitles.
 
However, other localized versions of the subtitles (and the game's user interface) may be supported in the future. ScummVM offers a semi-automated process to pack a localized transcript from an Excel file (of appropriate structure) into a SUBTITLES.MIX file. This process, along with usage instructions for the ScummVM developer tools involved, is described in detail in this [https://github.com/scummvm/tree/master/devtools/create_bladerunner/subtitles ScummVM GitHub page] readme.
