6 itemsAbout the Game
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.
