About
PALMIER ISLAND is a cozy island RPG sim that tricks you into learning French through pure play and no curriculum.
Plot: The economy is in shambles, and you're fresh outta college with no job and no prospects, so you fly to your millionaire uncle's island to catsit for the summer. However, when you arrive, you find out that all the islanders only speak French and you have to pay off your missing uncle's debt! Start a cafe, run a farm, fight demons in a school basement, go to court, and more as you discover each islander's lore and leave the island semi-fluent!
Core Gameplay Mechanic: Learn French through our core gameplay mechanic, Chattle, which is like a Pokemon battle where your words are Pokemon. You capture words from the Chattle into your vocabulary to navigate each conversational puzzle.
Minigames: Test your guessing skills through multiple minigames, such as shopping with only French labels, baking treats by recognizing vocabulary, and exploring alternative Chattle routes.

Nice story, concept, mechanics and funny. Voice actors and art is also good. Would definitely be a fun way to learn French. The area is somewhat hard to navigate, especially with invisible barriers and the aura and patience points suddenly dropping when the dialogue ended gave lovely heart attacks.
Looking forward to full release. This game gave me hope that I could eventually learn french, especially after completing the shopping segment with a perfect score - first try.
Really great little demo. Me and all my friends and family are awaiting the final release. Can't wait to play

I didn’t know it was a demo :(
Ich finds richtig lustig und einen sehr guten Weg, mein alteingerostetes französisch wieder aufzuwärmen! Freue mich auf mehr!
I find it crazy how I am trying to learn french with duolingo and this cute game popped up!
love it so much! i learn a little bit of french but would love to have a repeat button in their dialogues so i can imitate the pronunciations. also, while walking i often get stuck on invisible lines? but its understood cause its still on demo. would love to play the full game soon
Witzige Spielidee. Mal eine ganz andere Art, sich mit dem Erlernen von Sprachen zu beschäftigen :-D Sehr innovativ.
So downloaded to practice French, which I like. Some context: I went to French class in school a few years back, I know a pretty basic understanding with rust. However because of the comments I noticed there's a few words that you need a bit more than basic to understand when it comes to Alphie which could get frustrating. Then there's shopping, yeah I learned I'm better at reading in context than trying to figure out which ones shampoo correctly. So Pros: good practice for French to shake the rust off (Though no clue on accuracy as a non-native French speaker), good humor, nice art style, a good system in my opinion. con: invisible barriers which caused me to have to go around the island which was tedious, No clue where to go sometimes I'm pretty excited to see how the game goes and can't wait to practice my French on the full release
Great potential!
