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.

Creative! It's not entirely polished--I often got "stuck" trying to walk around town because the allowed pathing is very specific and apparently invisible--I can't walk on things that look like paths and can walk on (some things) that don't look like paths. I don't know much French but initially recognized words from the easy conversations and I didn't bother to translate the ones I knew. It wasn't until the conversations got harder that I realized I'd hurt my ability to play by failing to translate. That's a clever quirk. The game got much more dramatic after I got into Unk's house and I anticipate the full game will be worthwhile.
I love this! I don't know when the full version will be out but I really enjoyed the demo. The humor is great and I already found some of the french I learned many years ago coming back to me. I will be watching to see when the full game is here because I definitely would like to play it. Such a fun way to learn French! Au Revoir for now :)
