Stranger Than Heaven Embraces Multilingual Dialogue, Drops English-Only Dub

TL;DR

Stranger Than Heaven will not include a dedicated English dub or any single-language track; instead, it uses bilingual dialogue with characters switching languages based on who they're speaking to, reflecting Makoto Daito’s US/Japan background. The official site notes voice language cannot be changed, though subtitles are available in many languages.
