Steam review snapshots
One word of warning to new users, though: the reverse lookups are a bit confusing.Influent is a language learning game where you try to explore an apartment to learn words related to the stuff inside.Not a small feat for a solo dev, by any means.With some mastery of the target language however, you could try to imagine those language chunks yourself.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual, simulation filtered by relaxing, single-player.
