Jump Into the Cozy World of Find Your Words
Capybara Games has officially launched its latest project, Find Your Words, today for free. The short communication adventure is now available on Steam for PC, giving players immediate access to its heartfelt and creative experience. The studio also offers an optional $4.99 supporter pack. It comes with the game’s soundtrack and a digital booklet with printable activities such as a bird-watching log journal.
In Find Your Words, players step into the colorful world of Camp Pals, where communication happens without spoken language. The game encourages players to explore the scenic campgrounds. Along the way, they will meet a quirky cast of characters and build friendships through shared understanding. As players progress, they collect symbols for their communication binder. They can combine them to form meanings and unlock new interactions and activities across the camp.
The game is fit for all ages, blending a sense of wonder for younger players with a nostalgic tone for adults. The team also worked closely with speech language pathologists and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) users to shape an authentic and thoughtful representation of alternative communication.
“Find Your Words started as a fun project to celebrate our boys and the journey that they both have been on to find their voices using symbols,” said co-creator Jon Maur.
“We’re super proud of what we’ve built, but what we have is just a snapshot of AAC representation. We hope this sparks players to learn more about the different ways humans communicate,” said co-creator Vic Nyugen.
With plans for more languages and potential platform releases later this year, Find Your Words delivers a meaningful and easy-to-access adventure worth checking out.
