About
Lingua Franca is a 3D puzzle adventure game where you explore your neighborhood and take pictures to help others. Not out of the goodness of your heart, of course, there’s an alien on the loose!
Play as Asa, a young girl with a master plan to capture the alien and prove its existence to those around her. All you have is your camera and your wits, and you’ll need them to convince your neighbors to give you the materials you need to build your trap. By showing them pictures of the world around them, you will save a lost cat, crush a one-sided crush, and help two friends meet once again. With their help, the plan will go off without a hitch!
Features:
Three vibrant characters with their own stories, struggles, and silliness.
A quaint, Japanese-inspired neighborhood to explore.
One very confused alien whose only crime is its constant camouflage.

A short, cute game. It took me half an hour only because some of the choices you are expected to make aren't my first thought. Like, why do I have to show a picture of a poster with an apartment address to the guy at the apartment to give him the letter and progress when I can read the poster and go to the address and give him the letter? The environment is very whimsical, and I'd like to explore it more or see more of its objects utilized in puzzles (like the giant clocktower, the spinning takoyaki/octopus mascot, the arcade, etc) The character art and assets (especially cat model!! <3) are super cute, but the actual character models don't reflect the art's style entirely though. Overall, the puzzles are a lacking but seeing the art and environment is worth it. Lingua Franca's team put a lot of time, love, and effort into Lingua Franca, and I look forward to them creating more games.
