AIWritten with AI assistance from the sources cited and reviewed by our editors. How we work Quique Tortosa, a teacher and independent developer at IES Historiador Chabàs in Dénia, has launched two video games for mobile devices set in the city and the Marina Alta comarca. These are «Socarrat: Cocina de Dénia», available for iPhone and Android, and «Salitre: Puerto Pesquero Idle», which for now can only be downloaded on Android.
«Socarrat» is a culinary card game based on real rice recipes from the area and proposes a game equivalent to a week played on a terrace in Dénia. The title is available in Spanish, English and Valencian.
«Salitre», meanwhile, is a fishing game that starts at Dénia's port and allows you to build a fishing fleet as you play. It also includes a notebook with 40 real Mediterranean species.
Both video games are free and can be used without an internet connection; the advertisements they include are optional, as is a one-time purchase available in each one.
Regarding the purpose of these projects, Tortosa explained: "I wanted whoever plays, even if they have never been to Dénia, to know what an arròs a banda is or where Les Rotes is". The teacher is already working on a third title, «Prismloot», a loot game designed for iOS and Android.
