This is a traditional AGS adventure game about an adventurer Pedro who has to save a princess. The novel feature of the game is that it is completely voiced in beginner Spanish and is designed to be a tool to help you learn Spanish. It's quite a lengthy game at over 8 hours and I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the implementation. Despite knowing no Spanish before starting the game I have been able to proceed in the game with very few issues. I would say the puzzles would definitely be on the easy side for someone with a lot of Spanish knowledge, but it's a lot of fun trying to use logic and my knowledge of French to try to guess what is going on and what to do. I have got stuck a couple times and have had to look up the translation a few times too, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward if you're used to playing point and click adventure games.

As you can see from the screenshots, the pixel artwork is really nice and it is very polished for an AGS game with some nice animations. The only real drawback is the implementation of the hunger and thirst system where you have a hunger and thirst bar that regularly needs replenishing. Water and food are easy to find, but sometimes that results in a lot of backtracking and fast travel isn't available until over halfway through the game. Other than that even though the plot is pretty basic, it's definitely in the running for my adventure game of the year. Highly recommended. 4.5/5
