Okay I promised to explain the story and dialogue in this game, so it's about time to do that.

First of all a little background story. This game is part of a Danish tradition called christmas calendars. It's our way of counting down for christmas, you have a calendar made out of cardboard or plastic, sometimes with chocolate inside, that consists of 24 doors and you open a door from the 1st till the 24th December.

Along with these christmas calendars there are also christmas calendar on TV. A daily program lasting a half hour, with some kind of story regarding christmas in some way and it is split up into those 24 days so you will see an episode each day, sort of like the series 24 hours in a way, a continued story that is.

On the two main Danish channels there are two of these shows each, one for children and one for adults, so a total of 4. Along with the 2 shows for children also comes a christmas calendar as mentioned above so you can open a door each day and see what will happen in the episode at night.

No matter what the story will be like, with one of these childrens versions there will be a christmas calendar with the benefit that the profits from the sale of it will go to some kind of charity, usually something in Africa. This year you support children in Ethiopia by buying this particular christmas calendar.

And that leads us to the game. It is connected to the advertising campaign behind this calendar and charity, and tells the story of a family in Ethiopia. Uland is the Danish word for a third world country, spillet just means the game, so it is called The third world country game, directly translated.

The main character is a 10 year old girl called Tirsit. She lives with her mother and 3 siblings in Ethiopia. She is helping her mother out with the gardening work, and it is time for harvesting the cabbage which is what they live off, selling the cabbage at the downtown market. She is happy that they can have something else to eat than the flat bread her sister makes, because although they have to sell most of the cabbage, her mother lets them eat a little of the cabbage.

At night the entire family suddenly wokes up from their sleep when they hear a weird, frightening sound outside from the garden. Tirsit is afraid to go out and see what it is. When they get up the next morning they discover that it is a lot worse than the frightening sounds from last night. Their garden has been completely destroyed.

The mother is very sad, because now she has to leave her children and go to the town to work day and night to earn money for the family to live for. So Tirsit has to take care of the house and her siblings. But how is she going to have time to go to school now? And what about the garden? She also has to do something about that. So she needs all the help she can get.

And this is where the game starts. The dialogues are also in Danish so that's a bit much to translate. But the first thing she says is just for you to pick up the flowers and put them in red can, this is to make you familar with how to work with the objects in this game.

In order to clean up the garden and get vegetables again so your mother can come home there are a lot of other things you have to do in the proces, like learn how to irrigate the field and grow proper vegetables, save a woman from the hyenas, help out your family and so on.

[bloodshot eyez]

this is a very nice game. I had to look at the walk though once because I was stuck but once I started over and realized that things had to be done in order the game made more since. Also although I didn't understand the language spoken, if you pay attention to the intros you'll understand/appreciate the game sooo much more.
