First Day in Sweden is the first game in an episodic flash-based adventure
series, spearheaded by Will Eaken, Dave Rigley and Dimitris Manos. The first
episode introduces Emilio Carboni, a 22-year-old exchange student from
Florence, Italy, and his friend Vincenzo. Gifted with stereotypical Italian
traits, Emilio thinks every woman desires him, although none have shown
interest so far. Vincenzo is quite the opposite, but girls find him attractive
because of his looks.

When Vincenzo returns from an exchange program and shows pictures of Swedish
girls to Emilio, the latter decides to apply as well, despite his mother’s
objections. The entire episode spans the time he leaves Italy and his arrival
in Sweden, meeting the other students, adding up to about two to four hours of
gameplay. The overall structure is reminiscent of a TV sitcom like Friends
or That 70s Show with a fast pace and lots of humor. All characters are
voiced by known actors from the industry. While the trial version can be
played for free, the full version needs be unlocked for €10. The game
includes a built-in hint system to provide help when you are stuck.
