60 of 77 · most liked firstMaster Lemon is more than just a game; it's a delightful little slice of happiness and a beautiful homage to a life lived with passion. It's based on the incredible true story of Limão, a boy who dreamed of conquering the world by learning languages, believing in the profound power of words to connect us all. This heartwarming adventure was crafted by one of his best friends, and that love is felt in every single moment. The gameplay is a breath of fresh air, a celebration of enjoying the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Part game aboit stories and language and it's impact and magic and part requiem for the creators friend, Lemon,, whom this game is dedicated to. So it's a deeply personal game, and a bittersweet story and if that where all there was it would be a heartfelt game about love and loss. But behind all that there is still a delightful adventure game with some light inventory puzzles. You travel around a couple of islands, talking to the inhabitants, finding items and new words that help them in some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Master Lemon is surprisingly moving. Beneath the cute surface there’s a very heartfelt tribute, told in a creative and meaningful way. It feels like a requiem made as a game: intimate, emotional and full of love. It’s pretty clear how much care and love went into making this. On top of that, it’s a genuinely good narrative game with clever puzzles and a really interesting semi–open world to explore. The production value is also top-notch, music, sound design and VFX are all way above what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A relaxing short mystery with gorgeous 2D pixel art and a few plot twists to discover. No pressure, just story and exploration.

This 2D adventure game is packed with secrets and puzzles that keep you engaged from start to finish. The art is stunning, with dramatic lighting that brings every scene to life. The sound effects and music perfectly match the game’s vibe, enhancing the emotional depth of the narrative. VFX is a vibrant explosion of color that’s a treat for the eyes. The story is captivating and deeply moving, I was genuinely touched. I highly…

unlabelledView post →A cozy, charming adventure game about the power of languages and culture, with a few puzzles sprinkled in. Not too short, but also doesn't overstay it's welcome, and definitely worth a shot for any interested in it's themes and art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was genuinely impressed by Master Lemon’s gameplay and storytelling. I didn’t expect it to be inspired by a true story, that discovery gave the experience even more emotional weight. Throughout the journey, I felt a real desire to meet Lemon himself; I have the feeling we’d be great friends. The game blends narrative exploration and puzzle-solving in a well-balanced way, keeping the pacing engaging from start to finish. The characters are charming, the art direction is delightful, and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love and legacy in a tribute game. That's the intention. Rest in peace, Lemon
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have no words for how beautiful this game was. The story was moving, inspiring, touching and unique. It was so original and an absolute delight to experience. I have cried, I have laughed & I have reflected on my own experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who wants to get immersed in an emotional journey. It has left me feeling hopeful, nostalgic and conscious of the so little time we have experiencing life itself. How much even the most mundain stories can have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a true hidden gem of a game, with a unique and touching story, that is also anchored to reality in a way that moves you emotionally and inspires you to think about several philosophical topics: Finding your true purpose and potential, the importance and appreciation of language, and the ephemeral nature of our existence. Such topics can be heavy, but Master Lemon addresses them in a beautiful way, that has made me think back at it again and again. The story follows Lemon, a polyglot…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played Master Lemon expecting something light and funny, and it is... but it also surprised me with how heartfelt it gets. The friendship bond in this game is the best part. It feels genuine, and it made me really care about the journey instead of just “beating the game”. This requiem in form of a game for André Lima hit me hard. I wasn’t ready for that. It felt like a real goodbye, and it stayed with me after I finished playing. The art is beautiful too! Super charming and full of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the moment you start the game you'll know that it is truly special. It was made as a tribute to a lost friend, and the all the emotional weight of this homage was poured into the making of this experience. You can tell by the attention to detail, to the amount of personality the characters carry, and the weight of the story itself. You play as Limão in a quest to get to a destination to which the arrival was abruptly denied to him. Transported instead to a world where words have amazing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Master Lemon is a game with a wonderful aesthetic and atmosphere — it’s surprisingly immersive, to the point where you sometimes feel like you are Lemon, living that strange and beautiful experience. The word-based mechanic is truly unique. As you play, you gradually learn new words and meanings, including some untranslatable ones that carry deep emotional weight. One of my favorites is the Brazilian word “Gambiarra,” which not only means finding a clever, improvised solution when things don’t…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked up this game at least partially because I was hoping for some inspiration of my own when it came to communication, but it really did have some important things to impart amidst the wonderful tribute this served as. Sometimes, even if you all know the same words, you haven't had the concept introduced that will actually let you connect the way your want to. Sometimes you just don't have the words, and need to rely on someone else to understand what you're going through and help give…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far it is very good. Love the design and the story. I enjoy all the foreign language words, very proud to see Greek ones too. I am very excited to finish it and I just can't stop playing it at the moment. My full gameplay can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVuimH1SnDo Edit (after finishing it): That's why I love indie games so much. This project was made with a lot of love and μεράκι and it shows.. A wonderful tribute! I am very excited to see what else the creators will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very personal story. This story captures both the spirit of Brazil and of love. This game is a must play if you are into feeling powerful emotions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beautiful narrative and interactive experience. Meet characters inspired by cultures from around the world in a fantastical land where metaphors and words take shape. A story about life and relationships, about the marks we leave in our own history and in the history those around us, enriched by beautiful pixel art and a thrilling plot. Master Lemon is a beautiful tribute to friendship, a work of art that makes you feel proud exists.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland is a charming narrative-driven adventure that combines classic exploration with an inspiring message about perseverance, learning, and cultural appreciation. Developed by Pepita Digital and published by Pepita Digital, Mecrew Games, and Gixer Entertainment, the game takes a refreshing approach by building its story around the real-life aspirations of André "Lemon" Lima, whose passion for languages and dream of reaching Iceland became the foundation for this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beautiful gem of a game. You can feel the love that suffuses the story as the writer builds a magical world to try to make sense of his friend's passing. Anyone who has experienced a loss can relate to the impulse to find meaning in pain. There is sheer joy here for all that makes life worth living - beauty, community, language, culture, knowledge, nature - as well as the poignant sorrow of knowing that it all has an inevitable end. Pros: wonderful storytelling and worldbuilding; lovely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Severely underrated game and deserves so much more hype. Cosy, heartfelt dialogue and enjoyable puzzles that don't stress you out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pretty and cozy game that's emotion-filled. Nice visual effects. Snappy and gives a magical feeling. A beautiful, heartwarming tribute. Interesting mechanic using words of different languages. Definitely a game for those who love languages, words, books and the likes. A nice combo with hidden items and secrets, with some puzzles. I appreciate the detail that went into the design of the environment, e.g. characters woven into items, like "光" and the streetlamps. The ending/last phase of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →O jogo é muito envolvente. Explorar é divertido, mesmo tendo poucas áreas; a ideia principal me conquistou desde a primeira vez que ouvi: um jogo onde as palavras te dão poder. Ainda sinto que isso poderia ter sido mais explorado, não temos muita liberdade. Mas isso não é uma falha, é uma oportunidade pra uma possível continuação. A narrativa é perfeita. Muito facil de engajar, e tanto a história principal quanto as missões secundárias tem profundidade. O fim do jogo faz questão de mostrar as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a simple yet deep game that will show you a beautiful story. I felt great by reading and talking to people and imagining how something would complete the NPCs, getting very excited when I learned a new word and knew exactly where to go to help someone with a word. I found out I have many BACKPFEIFENGESICHT friends.... Priceless!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is just art, poetry. Great game, Lemon definitely is proud somewhere. I am proud too. It's much more than a video game! The game talked to me directly. The creator. The story. The mechanic is simple and made me feel like a polyglot. Clever way to make things happen! Long live Master Lemon!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Wow, are you a wizard?" -"No, I'm Brazilian" Master Lemon is a master...ful piece of art. The game feels very sincere in its heartfelt story. It's like you can feel the author's intentions with the game, which makes it more meaningful than others. This is truly a gem. It also has a production level much higher than most other games of its price point.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh my god, I couldn t stop playing. So I did to come here. It s simple, so rich and mysterious. Im sorry for your friend, I will honor him by playing this. THIS IS WHY WE PLAY VIDEO GAMES!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maravilhosa e emocionante homenagem a um amigo. Sensacional.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game’s premise is wonderful. It revolves around a young man named Lemon who loves languages and has already mastered many of the world’s most widely spoken ones. His biggest dream, however, is to learn the language of the Vikings, Icelandic. Before he can make that dream come true, Lemon tragically dies. This game is all about helping him fulfill his final wish. Everything is wrapped in a story about languages slowly disappearing because of a mysterious fog. After reading a notebook…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is perfect—every detail. The story is exciting, and it hooks you within minutes; it is absolutely worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A masterpiece! I found its heartfelt story, charming world, and meaningful puzzles truly unforgettable, and I sincerely hope to see and play more games like this in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun fact, I was aware of this due to a game called "Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland" which is about a polyglot and has words/phrases from many different languages and this was one of them!
unlabelledView post →Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland is a MASTERPIECE that made me bawl my eyes out! It’s an absolutely beautiful game tributing a best friend who lost his life and had a love to language. 100% recommend and remember your tissues 🥹
unlabelledView post →Games like this remind us that games are an art form. Have tissues. It's beautiful, bittersweet, and not one you'll soon forget. Anyone who has lost someone may be moved to tears but remember its a celebration of life and a reminder to live and achieve your dreams. The gameplay loop is satisfying, the art is cute, and the narrative is satisfying in its sadness and hope.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a beautiful and bittersweet story. I'm thankful to those who made this moving game from such a sad origin. Learning all of those new words was a joy.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was an extremely beautiful, well-written story with many characters that played integral parts and leave a lasting imprint, just for their meaning. I couldn't stop playing til I was done, and I'll be back to try to 100% it later on, but the story kept me intrigued and addicted to the very end. Give this game and its story a listen.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland é um jogo brilha pela sua mecânica única, na qual palavras intraduzíveis se tornam poderosas ferramentas para resolver quebra-cabeças e curar o mundo da perda de memória e linguagem, oferecendo uma profunda e tocante meditação sobre a amizade, a cultura e a imortalidade da memória. super recomendo conhecerem e jogarem esse jogo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →muito bom ver um jogo brasileiro feito com tanto carinho e capricho. colocar um adaptador num adaptador numa extensão numa outra extensão é realmente uma coisa muito brasileira, eu acho hahahah puzzles legais que exigem da mente do jogador mas com uma leveza também, achei na medida certa. e eu, que curto muito linguística, curti mto ver palavras sendo usadas para "florescer" em outras palavras intraduzíveis, e usá-las no decorrer do jogo. bem interessante! recomendo a experiência para…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A relaxing and engaging game that tells a compelling story about a young man that has a dream. The pixel art is beautifully done and the soundtrack immerses you into this beautiful little world they created. The gameplay involving words from many different languages is innovative and allows unique interactions with the environment and characters. Also, gotta love the use of "Gambiarra" in this. Great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Um dos jogos mais inteligentes e interessantes que ja joguei. Além de muito bem escrito e cheio de referências linguisticas e culturais, o jogo é uma homenagem ao amigo do autor que perdeu a vida tragicamente. Parabéns pelo jogo!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m usually too lazy to write reviews, but I think this game deserves some special attention. It’s very well polished and offers around 5–7 hours of content. Smooth enough to avoid those small friction points that often pile up in indie games. With bolder ideas than the average indie adventure, Master Lemon delivers an engaging narrative and clever puzzles. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys games such as To the Moon, Rakuen, OneShot, and similar titles. Note: it is a good idea to have a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truly a game for language lovers. To best describe the experience: Flow (coined in English by psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, from Hungarian roots) — The mental state of complete immersion in an activity, where you lose track of time and feel pure, focused enjoyment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You never know if a once in a lifetime conversation will come from someone you love or from an absolute stranger. Those moments when everything just clicks and feelings and ideas flow naturally while time flies by. I've had a few of those conversations, a few memories I will carry with me for life. Master Lemon is the first time I have that exact feeling come from a game. This is not just a game about languages or memories, and not just a tribute either. Even though it is those things and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland is more than just an indie game — it's a heartfelt love letter wrapped in an adventure. What strikes you immediately is how personal and authentic everything feels: the charming art direction, the clever puzzles, and the way humor and emotion dance together throughout the experience. You can tell this was made by someone who poured their soul into every pixel, every dialogue, every carefully crafted moment. It's rare to find a game that feels this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Belíssima história, foi uma homenagem criativa e tocante, uma experiencia curta mas que vale a experiencia
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is amazing! I love to learn new languages and the game is rooted on the concept of learning new words and phrases from different languages. I wish I didn't have to learn so I could beat this beautiful game today.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't make me cry!! It's such a cute game I loved finding all the words, helping all the different people And the Bubble Popping?! More please
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this game. A beautiful tribute, and a well thought out concept. Really enjoyed the language aspect!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Master Lemon is a beautiful and touching game that hits hard with the tribute to André behind it. I highly recommend taking the time to play this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking for games with not that many reviews and found this one. This game was beautifully made and tells a great story. Did not expect it to be this good. After beating it, I decided to 100% it. A game worth buying in my opinion.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good light adventure game. The whole combination plays well - pixel graphics, some action, good story and good interaction. If you are fan of these indie games, give it a try. I need to play more of these.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great story and interesting gameplay, will be playing more this week but from what I've seen I'm linking it a lot
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just finished the game, and I honestly don’t know how to fully express the impact it had on me. It’s such a beautiful, melancholic experience, yet filled with so much love and care. From the very first cutscene, I had a feeling this was going to be something special. The storytelling is incredibly engaging — it kept pulling me deeper and deeper into the world. Although the game is rooted in the memory of a friend’s passing, what stayed with me the most wasn’t just grief, but a lingering…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A touching story with beautiful pixel art graphics and calming music. I too hope to live a life so full that those around me feel the need to remember me this deeply. This game made me feel grief for someone I never truly met and I think that is it's greatest achievement as an art piece, rest in peace Lemon.
