After few patches since the release, the game is slowly getting better and better. The controls were improved drastically. I hope that the updates will keep coming to polish this rough gem of a game. I would certainly welcome more guidance to places with unexplored words. Original launch review: As a kickstarter backer, i must say i am disappointed. I love the idea but the game feels very unfinished and clunky to me. I can see that Tristan put a lot of work into his game, and i hope i can change my review to a positive one after further updates.
Within 5 minutes I sent a refund request. Poorly made, not worth paying for, maybe good for a free game but honestly there is no explanation into the game as to what is happening makes 0 sense wouldn't recommend at all

I've had a lot of fun with the game and have gotten a vocabularly of several hundred words in three languages! Depending on which language you're learning and how different it is from the languages you know, it can feel a bit overwhelming. Since you probably won't understand a word at the beginning. But if you stick with it and really try and decipher the dialogue you'll begin to understand more and more. Apart from talking to NPCs, you can also click on objects in the environment to learn words, giving you additional motivation to explore all of the city.
I got this the day it came out as I've been following it. This is still very much a work in progress, but has great potential. It doesn't do traditional chinese only simplified. I have clicked on objects to recieve a "no word for object" On questions that revese the language (text is in your native language answer should be in language you are learning) only one answer is in the language you are learning, making it not really a question. When you have to guess a word based on pictures if you guess wrong twice the game will not tell you what the word means. Game play is a little clunky still at this time as well. The character you follow around will go places you can't go (into the river, between two building you can fit in, etc) Then you have to wander the city trying to find them. The left and right move buttons actually rotate the character but don't move them left or right. Finally, the character you click on speak the language you are trying to learn, but al the ones wandering the world speak some kind of mumble speak that isn't the actual language. Although their speech bubble seem to be right, the audio isn't even close to the language you are trying to learn. Overall it's a good first attempt, and I'm looking forward to future updates that hopefully fix the issues making it hard to play.
Game was very clunky and unpolished when it worked. Now it won't even start, including after uninstall/reinstall.
It's a good game, but it seems too advanced for any beginner in any language, except maybe Spanish or French. I don't think I'd recommend it for language learning, sorry.
I can not recommend this game to anyone. Its shallow, buggy, clunky, and not worth than more than like $3 US. It could be good but it would need a heap of work. And the developers has went quiet. So this is probably the final state of the game which should no longer bee on the page.
The game is very well made, great artwork and music. However the learning mechanic in the .7 hrs I played is extremely lacking. Also there did not appear to be any questing or incentive to explore the city further. It's difficult for me to recommend this game to anyone serious about language learning. Also please add dictionary to the tests it might help contextualize the guessing.
Debería ser gratis, no permite practicar pronunciación y lo gráficos podrían ser mejores.
I think this is a good start to a game, but I feel at its current stage, it should be labeled alpha, and it should have a story line. Right now, I can't tell if there is even a story line.
