ANN ARBOR, MI., February 22, 2022 – ODEUM announces today its upcoming revolutionary immersive 3D quest driven game for learning Chinese is now live on Steam as COMING SOON.
Help protect Hua Mulan from the evil plot of the time traveling Shadows of the Past, in this story-driven episodic Chinese learning adventure. You’ll read, write pinyin, and speak Chinese all while hunting down time bandits before the time deviations become permanent.
Episode I begins with the detection of a time bubble originating in ancient China. You must travel back to find its origins. You’ll practice Chinese greetings by interacting with villagers and completing quests as you race to find Hua Mulan and uncover the mystery surrounding the Shadows of the Past.
The story will continue in episodes II-IV as you help Hua Mulan infiltrate the Snow Leopards, gain an ally, and come to realize the emperor is not the beloved ruler portrayed in modern stories. Episodes I-IV follow the curriculum for the HSK 1 exam.
FEATURES

A tachyonic radio provides translation help giving you just enough help to master the vocabulary and sentence patterns.
Quest driven AI adjusts the content as you play to ensure you're getting the help you need to be successful in the game and in learning Chinese.

WHY AN RPG FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING?
Experts agree that immersion and engagement are key for language learning. Practicing sentence patterns – which is key to learning a language – can be dry and boring. With a role-playing game that provides the needed scaffolding for language learning, players are given the motivation for practicing sentence patterns.
