What policy changes should be made, if any, to respond to the deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest? You arrive in Peru by helicopter, interview different stakeholders, and use the Spanish present subjunctive in conversations.
In the second game by Redshift Education, you play as a congressperson who has to balance two competing goals: building rapport with stakeholders in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest to pass an anti-deforestation policy, and managing your own political popularity back home in the US to get re-elected.
Along the way, you practice the present subjunctive in Spanish -- using it to describe what you want and the change you'd like to see in the world. Players learn about the trade-offs that are to be considered between the way of life they are used to and the environmental ideals that they may hold.
Yes! Your words and actions affect every step of the story. There are many different paths, different endings, different possible achievements, and different possible relationships you can cultivate with each individual character. Enjoy replaying and exploring the multiple endings!
The good news for your learning goals? No matter what decisions you make each time you play, your comprehension, grammatical accuracy, and pronunciation in Spanish really do matter!

"Deforestation is a fantastic language-learning tool for those looking for more immersive online language education that differs from the standard question-answer format. ... Players have direct, thought-provoking conversations with NPCs using advanced Spanish grammar and vocabulary."
High school learner of Spanish
"The game presents a topic, deforestation, that could have some kind of interest to people so that they actually want to learn about it. The language [Spanish] is just the vehicle. They may get a little distracted – in a good way – by the topic, instead of thinking, Oh, this is just a grammar exercise."
