Recommended 1.7 hrs on record POSTED: YESTERDAY Find Your Words is a heartwarming little day-at-camp adventure in the spirit of A Short Hike! You begin by selecting one of several children you’d like to play, and then go about meeting your fellow campers. Naya and Tai were my favorites. :) Each camper has a favorite hobby, and you—as a non-speaking camper—use your communication binder of symbols (which you build over the course of the game) to get to know each camper and help them with their projects. Birdwatching was my favorite! Though finding one of those birds proved to be pretty tricky, as I found myself running multiple figure-eight loops around the island’s trails in search of that elusive little guy! The game vibes are so wholesome and kind. The focus is on acceptance and inclusion. This is emblematic of the developers: two dads who created this game in honor of their own non-speaking children, and generously decided to make their game free for everyone to enjoy and become educated on AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Find Your Words will take you about an hour to an hour-and-a-half to play through, depending on how much time you spend meandering around the island, snapping screenshots of the scenic views (like I did). :) Achievements are directly tied to the requisite activities, and mostly unmissable, save for a couple. But, there’s an achievements guide available on Steam should you need it, and even after you roll credits, you can pop back into the game, pick up where you left off, and knock out anything you may have missed.
Find Your Words is made by two dads and inspired by their non-speaking kids, which makes it even more special. (Also thank you alot to my friend, who made me aware of this little gem!!) In this game, you use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). You arrive at this cute little camp, and you get a book that helps you communicate using pictures. As you explore, you collect more pictures and even get some from the friends, that you meet along the way! You also get from the games you are playing with them. My favorite was the bird watching. 🦉🔭 its just such a sweet and wholesome game. I LOVE that it brings awareness to AAC in such a gentle way. The game is free, but I ended up buying the DLC to show some support 🤎 The achievements are simple, and the whole game took me about an hour or so.
I can't believe this was released for free, I would've been happy to pay for it. Okay, so this should be available in schools for young children to play, to learn about neurodiversity, tolerance and inclusion from a young age. If kids are going to be equipped with tablets and stuff when they start school, they may as well have good, educational games, which are also fun and have a range of characters you can choose to play as. Not to mention the range of characters you get to meet. This game is just... so good, and I so wish tolerance and inclusion was taught to all children from the very beginning; if not from the beginning, as soon as they start school. (It should also be taught to the teachers; that should go without saying.) Games like this one will help with such education.
Was perfect for my tiny human. Kiddo's review is that "it was fun :D". Birdwatching was their favourite minigame. I recommend this for 3-4 year olds (parent-assisted) or slightly older kids if they want to read it themselves. It's a short game; even at her pace (I read aloud and my kiddo handled the controls), it took 2 hours to 100%. They really enjoyed being able to help the children around the camp, the difficulty was just right and the little "pals!" animation at the end of quest chains made them squeal and clap in delight. Thank you so much for making this game free to play, and for the highlight on inclusion that is so needed today.
We’d also like to highlight some reviews from Steam! We love them ALL (yes, even the one that simply says “cozy”!) and appreciate everyone who took the time to write something about our precious game. 🥰 It helps us out immensely to reach more folk, so please consider leaving a review if you can!

The screenshot primarily showcases the beach, with a small view of one of the cabins on the side. The lake surrounding the camp takes up a majority of the image. In the middle of the image is the Find Your Words logo, as well as text in the same style saying: “Available Now”.
The screenshot shows Gwennie from Find Your Words at the top of the tower, painting on their canvas. They are looking out at Camp Pals. The view showcases part of the beach, the forestry, and some of the cabins.
The screenshots is from the cutscene with Naya. It shows Naya and the player at the beach, making sandcastles. They are smiling at each other.
The screenshot is a bird’s eye view of the beach, with the lake taking up most of the picture. Waves are coming to shore. A rock sits on the sand.

Ian from Find Your Words with Squirtle from Pokemon.
Ian: Squirtle, because he’s part of the Squirtle Squad duhhhh @ianipoos.com
Penny from Find Your Words with Bulbasaur from Pokemon.
Tai from Find Your Words with Rowlet from Pokemon.
Penny: Bulbasaur, a very reliable, loyal Pokemon to stay by Penny’s side! It would probably use its vines to make sure she never loses a charm again, haha.
Tai: Rowlet, because he loves his birds! Though they’re nocturnal, at least he’ll always have a bird companion around.
Naya from Find Your Words with Mudkip from Pokemon.
Ollie from Find Your Words with Quaxly from Pokemon.
Naya: Mudkip, for our water-loving beach bum! Mudkip wouldn’t be afraid to get dirty with her too!
Ollie: Quaxly, who would be just as dependable as Ollie! Plus, its final evolution would dance its heart out with Ollie!
Gwennie from Find Your Words with Fennekin from Pokemon.
Melvin from Find Your Words with Chimchar from Pokemon.
Gwennie: Fennekin, who would probably be very fun to draw/paint! Plus, their final evolution could probably hold a paintbrush like Gwennie!
Melvin: Chimchar, who would be a great companion to Melvin’s antics!
We were recently informed that Pokemon Champions would come out the same day as Find Your Words! It’s pretty cool to be releasing a game alongside a game series we played in our childhood 💙 Congrats to Pokemon on their launch!
