Oh, these are the folks who made FarSky. I could never get that to work on my old system. Wonder if it'll run on my new one.

It looks like this is a teaser for a game called "Ellen", not "Ellen Teaser - The Fall". "The Fall" seems to be the title of the teaser, not the game.

I tried playing it on a tablet, and honestly I don't recommend it. While the mechanics work quite well, the smaller screen makes the already cluttered map look incredibly cramped, and it becomes much easier to make a fatal misclick. Seems good otherwise, although I'm no fan of the mission timer.

"Top" down in space. :S:

The last time I took a look at this on Itch.io, it was more a vocabulary game than actually learning how to speak a language. It told you what a few things were, quizzed you on a few words, but that was about it in the end. Nothing about grammar or anything but "this is the word for tree" level stuff.

Hopefully the full release version will have a bit more depth to it.

Quoting: GuestI'd say cut them some slack, it's not like they raised more than 1 million dollars and then just basically went with "fuck you linux (and mac) users" [External Link]...

No, they raised $660,126 and threw it down a hole with almost nothing to show for it and extremely little communication with backers. I'm confident that they would have said much the same thing if they came anywhere close to making a playable game, especially given that they're trying to twist their way out of a port for the one they did make.

Quoting: GuestAnyone with any shred of honor and dignity could see that.

Now, see, this was your first mistake. You're talking about Playdek.

Oh yeah, Playdek! Those are the guys who mismanaged Unsung Story and frittered away all the Kickstarter money for it. They were consistently uncommunicative as to the status of the game and what work they were doing, abruptly changed the mechanics of the game without any consultation, and when they started running out of funds decided to try to make a quick knock-off mobile game to raise more. The new company that took over the project found that the design documents were a total mess and almost no useable work had been created.

Not surprised to see they continue to carry on business in that vein.

Hello!

Are they any good, do they have an interesting story or anything?

Storylines in the AF games tend to be a bit melodramatic, but to the point of being charming rather than repelling. Don't look for anything too advanced there, but do look for enjoyable puzzles and fantastic art, with a bit of variety in style from title to title.

Reminds me a bit of Donsol [External Link], which does a dungeon crawl using a standard Poker deck. Although this seems to include a lot more tricks thanks to the format.
