6 itemsAbout the Game
Learn to express yourself in a tailor-made, fully functional language! Understanding the language is only the beginning. Your goal is to speak in the language.
GATHER LANGUAGE
Collect and store any phrase for later use. Discover what symbols mean by using them in conversations. The bespoke symbols are the only writing you'll find in the game!
MASTER COMMUNICATION
At the start of your adventure, you can only repeat full sentences you’ve collected. But the higher you climb, the more your language mastery grows. Unlock the ability to split phrases in smaller and smaller chunks, so you may craft your own conversations.
DYNAMIC WORLD
Lose yourself in an interconnected network of beautifully hand-drawn locations. The solution to every obstacle isn't violence. It's talking!
LOVABLE ISLANDERS
The islanders that settled on the volcano all have personal stories and relationships for you to discover and utilize. They follow their own schedules and ambitions.
RACE AGAINST TIME
An eruption will destroy the island... unless you can reach the summit in time! Fail, and a mysterious power resets you to the start of your adventure! But with every run, your mastery over the language grows. And you retain your ability to fragment phrases and build your own sentences.
SECRETS AND RIDDLES
The island is riddled with secrets and mysteries. Study them closely to reveal the true nature of your arrival and purpose.
