FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"Is this game for beginners?"
No... *unless* you're very serious about learning Spanish through immersion, enjoy a challenge, and are willing to learn as you go. This game is particularly useful for people who have a very basic level of Spanish and want to put what they're learning into practice while improving their vocabulary. You'll get the best results if you spend a few weeks or months learning the basics before starting this game.
If you're looking for a beginner friendly game then you may be interested in "Linguist FPS". But for those that already have a basic level of Spanish, Pedro's Adventures is a much more comprehensive and useful experience.
"How is this different to just playing any regular game in Spanish?"
Games with language simple enough for beginners typically don't require much language comprehension to play. (Eg: most action platformers.) And narrative driven games have a lot of dialogue which is too advanced for learners. It's also rare to find those games with full audio dialogue transcribed into other languages. Pedro's Adventures uses simple language designed for beginners and accompanied by helpful imagery. That said, we would recommend that you try playing some of your favorite RPGs in Spanish. If you are able to understand all your objectives then congratulations! Your Spanish is already quite excellent.
"Everything is in Spanish without translation? Won't I feel overwhelmed?"
Sometimes, yes! But don't be discouraged, you can absolutely complete this game even if you don't understand every word that's being said. If you can persevere you'll find that you're still able to understand your objectives and how to achieve them. New language learners often find themselves quite overwhelmed when first attempting to interact in the language they’re studying. This is a natural part of the process. Just watch for keywords and context, and don't be afraid to experiment!
"Will this be useful if I want to learn Spanish from Spain (Castilian)?"
In short, yes. Especially if you are a beginner. The script and voice performances were done by Latin American Spanish speakers but most of the common verbs and nouns are the same in both variations of the language. Even though some of the words in the game might be less commonly used in Spain, Spaniards and Latinos are typically able to understand each other perfectly.
"Is the game available for learning other languages as welll?"
Yes! We currently have: "Pierre's Adventures for learning French" and "Peter's Adventures for learning English"
If there is sufficient support for these games then we intend to release it for more languages. In particular Russian, German and Japanese are high on the list.
"Will it be available on other platforms? (macOS, Android, consoles etc)"
Initially it will only be available for Windows PC, but if there is sufficient demand for it then down the track we'd love to port the game to macOS, Linux, consoles and mobile devices.
