    SAFY is a game that can be played without an instructor by your side. The virtual instructor is part of the game. You'll experience this hearing Bob, the narrator in the game who is helping you with instructions and senses when you get stuck in the game. When Bob is talking you will see a message that slides out at the top right of your screen: If you see this message but do not hear Bob talking, something might have gone wrong when downloading Bob's files. To fix this, quit the level (click the hamburger menu in the top right of your screen) and return to the main level selection screen. At the top you will see the language selection button. Click it and select another language. Then click it again and select your own language. This will force the game to download all language files again.
