Not all video games are about high scores or defeating great evils; some are a personal, heartfelt tribute to a legacy. Today marks the launch of one of those rare and special experiences – Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland.
A narrative adventure about language, memory, and friendship, Master Lemon has launched today, 4th November 2025. This unique title from developer and publisher Pepita Digital is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC for £16.99.
Prepare to immerse yourself in a narrative that tugs on your heartstrings, as you harness the power of language to save a world from a memory-devouring plague.
A Tribute to a Lost Friend
Master Lemon is not just a game; it’s a touching tribute to the developer’s polyglot friend, André Lima, who tragically passed away while pursuing his dream of living in Iceland.
This game honours his legacy by transforming his passion for language and culture into a beautiful, interactive adventure.
You play as Lemon, a polyglot tasked with saving a distant land from a mysterious memory-erasing plague. You must overcome the boundaries of time and save what we all hold most dear.
