la llegenda del fumera

With this game and two others, we want to make known legends of Catalan folklore, which are not as well known, at least in our area, as others such as Sant Jordi or the Devil's Bridge are. We also want to promote the use of Catalan in digital environments and take the opportunity to make Catalan words or expressions that are gradually falling into disuse visible and generate material adapted for everyone.

This second installment is about Fumera, an endearing and mysterious character from Catalan folklore typical of some areas such as Empordà. He works as a real spy for the Three Kings, and his main mission is to help Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar be very fair when distributing gifts among the children.

In this game we wanted to give a slightly darker and more adult atmosphere than we are used to.

Since there is no, or we are not aware of, an official version of the legend, we have made our own version based on texts that we have found on the internet and on our own childhood experiences and memories at the Puig d'Esparreguera Cooperative School.

The game basically consists of a digital book where we can read the legend page by page.

You will find 4 modes of use of the game depending on what interests you most at any given time.

First of all we will find the "History with challenges" mode:
In this mode we will see small challenges that we will have to overcome in order to continue in the story. In total 5 mini challenges. It is the complete game mode and therefore it is the one we recommend for the first time.

Second of all you will find the "History continued" mode:
In which you can turn pages and advance in the story without any challenges that interrupt us.

Thirdly you will find the "Listen to the story" mode:
As its name indicates, if you choose this mode you will be able to listen to the audio followed by the entire story, which would become the audiobook of the legend.

And finally you will find the "Play the challenges" mode:
In this mode you will be able to access any of the 4 mini-games directly without having to go through the story.

The mini-games are very simple since they are designed to be accessible on a cognitive level and they are also simple in terms of mechanics since we had to adapt them so that they could be played with the finger / mouse and also with a button.
