A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Buy Now$3.50 USD or more

Take a walk in the park today. Whom will you meet? What will you find?

There are people to talk to, secrets to discover and challenges to overcome.*

When you're finished, catch the bus home and see your score. Play time can take a few minutes or a few hours, depending on how high you want to score.

Reading, thinking, and old school adventure/rpg skills will all help you do better. Can you get ten out of ten?


*I.e. the attempts at humour.

Notes on controls:

Use arrow keys or a controller with two buttons for action and cancel commands. You can use the mouse for everything, but it works best just for hovering over words in the optional English help system.


Extra information for teachers and students:

The whole game is written to be understandable to ESL students (around pre-intermediate, A2/B1, 4-ish IELTS) and children. An inbuilt system gives help with difficult vocabulary, which can be turned off if not needed. Spelling is British style.

There are fantasy elements in the story, death is a (minor) concept, and a small amount of blood is used to show injuries in simple 2D graphics.

Extra information for RPG Maker fans:

Made with MV. Graphics are mostly RTP with some edits and replacements. Changes are mostly to tilesets, and sv_enemies to show damage. Music from purchasable music packs.

Two custom written plugins. One adds the dictionary, the other changes underlying combat mechanics.

Enjoyed the little bit I played. I got lost trying to figure out where the key goes and couldn't advance. I really wanted to get to a fight! Maybe next time :

Great to hear you enjoyed the first part. Don't worry, there's lots more to discover.

You mean the 'old key'? You'll need to do the mini quest of the lost guy, Mr Ryan, before you can find what that unlocks. By the way, even his name is a very subtle hint.

Combat? What combat? It's a peaceful walk in the park... or is it? ;)

But just in case... the place where you use the key will give you a few hints about where to look. Also, listening near the statue in the middle of the park isn't a complete waste of time. To be fair, there is something that is not visually obvious and (very?) hard to find. Just make sure you're searching in the right area. Have fun!

"A walk in the park" is great, your next release could be "A piece of cake" ;)

You are a genius. I'm not kidding, that was the title I already had planned for the next game at that English level.

Glad you liked 'A Walk in the Park'!
