Nice to see another narrative game! Really clever how this places you within the shoes of a language-learner - clever and funny take on the theme! Great look to it too

Really funny one, I really like how it leads you into believing that either option is something that can help you if you just knew which was the right one - but you're actually always saying something completely different. Had a lot of fun with this one! Cheers

I'm all about the art and music! The story really captures the feeling of being oppressively unaware of how to get around in a strange place with a language you don't speak, which is something I've probably done a few too many times in Europe... It was a little odd that I could still elect to leave when I was getting thrown in jail, though. Really great approach to this year's theme!

Neat art and take on the theme. Text moves a little slow and the UI seems a little janky at times though.
