Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland
A tribute to a friend who has passed — and to the adventures we still need to live. A story-driven adventure about a young polyglot traversing mystical islands and using the power of words to confront his own fate and save a world tamed by darkness.
A tribute to a friend who passed away
In 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.

Ratljóst — "enough light to illuminate the path" in Icelandic — dispels the darkness ravaging the world.
