my brain has to think about the French. I could order new stuff for my shop, but i am not ready yet. when i order more stuff for my shop, the customers will request more stuff. I dont know enough French to do that yet. This game is nice because the reward is improved language skills rather than in game advancements. In the typical game, you gain super powers, new outfits, or whatever. In this game, achievement equals real-world gains. you do not merely add inventory to the store. you add inventory to you linguistic abilities. Well done Lost Abroad. Great Language Development Game !!
Great concept, sloppy programming, game breaking bugs, repetitive TTS no real voices. I bought this in EA to help support a promising language app, but after a long EA limbo it released as is.

Interesting idea, poor execution. Got it at full price, to be honest I won't ask for a refund if it's not full of game breaking bugs. I was hoping the game would get better but according to what I saw in discord, the dev have abandoned the game (officially they call it "pause" instead of abandon, but leaving a game full of bugs to sell on steam without a plan of continuous bug fix looks very much like abandon to me) Pros: [list] [*]put language to use [*]repetition in a natural scenario [/list] Cons: [list] [*]Too buggy, have to quit and re-start quite often due to various bugs including customer standing in front of me but the greet options now showing up [*]quite some underlined words does not come with explanations [*]Various characters shows as a square (tofu) instead, in Japanese. This is a language learning game for god's sake. [*]sometimes voice does not play so I have to read the text to get customer order. [*]Too short, not enough content [*]putting large cup on the counter results in blocking the tea bags. [*]basic mouse operation feels unresponsive and inaccurate [*]in-game achievements does not match steam achievements, a proof of poor production quality [/list]
It's a bit buggy (voice sometimes doesn't play, text can overlap), and very limited (just a few drinks and snacks) but it's cheap. If you want to check how to order your favourite cake, or just get used to listening to a language then it might help.
Love the graphics and style of this game. Relaxing but a engaging way to learn a language in a practical way. Look forward to more content.
Very well-designed game
Hardly functions. Definitely needs work. Achievements don't count for 100% completion stat on Steam, so don't bother for that reason alone.
The game is fundamentally broken. The button to say hello to the customers doesn't show up, so they don't give their order, so the game doesn't work. No bug fixes or word from the devs in years. DO NOT BUY!
Love the game. It was interesting because I started to understand intuitively what the customers were saying without really thinking about it. Probably the best task-based language learning application that exists and I hope they keep updating it.
I enjoyed this game.... when it worked. The language you will learn in this game is super basic. But, an hour or two with this game and you'll be an expert at ordering coffee in your target language. This game is a great idea and has a ton of potential. However, a few bugs made this game unplayable. The one worth complaining about is that the customers quit giving orders. Every time I started a round, they would just stand there in front of the counter silently, no text bubble, no speaking. The dialogue options on the side that the game gives you to speak to them wouldn't appear. Restarting the game didn't fix it. There wasn't anything in the settings that I found to fix it. So the game basically broke. I love the idea of this game, but it's too buggy to recommend.
