About Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland
A tribute to a friend who passed awayIn this touching pixel art adventure, help Lemon, a young polyglot, save the world's languages from a memory-devouring plague. The game is inspired by the life of André Lima — "Lemon" — an adventurous polyglot whose love for languages and cultures knew no bounds. His dream of living in Iceland to learn Icelandic was cut short after a car accident. This is a tribute to André's life, and an invitation for you to reflect on your own destiny.The Power of WordsWords have power in the Bashir Islands. During your journey, you'll learn words from over ten languages that grant Lemon special powers. Ratljóst — "enough light to illuminate the path" in Icelandic — dispels the darkness ravaging the world.
