Grammarian Ltd

Combining grammar lessons and a work sim on mobile, Grammarian Ltd immerses players into a world where incorrect grammar is punishable by law. The year 2099 hasn't been kind to these grammar delinquents, and it's up to you as the player to correct as many grammatical errors as you can to make the world a better place - or so your boss says.

The game places players into the shoes of a theoretical mathematics graduate who happens to get thrust into a grammar validation job due to an administrative error. You'll have to do everything you can to get to work each day, do your job, use your earnings to spruce up your apartment - and not get caught.
