Absolutely loved this game. I don't play many puzzle games, but the combination here of exploration, puzzles, language puzzles in particular and the beautiful art just did it for me. Must play if you like puzzle games or if, like me, you did not know there were language puzzle games out there.

One of the best language puzzle game ever. It's pretty short, the puzzles are interesting and not very mind-killing. The most interesting part of the game is that you actually learn new languages and try to connect them with each other seeing their differences which come from culture of people who talk them itself. And the overall story and ending is pretty interesting. I could recommend this game to all who seek experience with learning a story and game rules bit by bit from scratch.

因为从来没玩过解密语言的游戏，所以无法和其他游戏比较，只有爽。因为爽，所以本身不会非常难解。虽然每个章节都会有卡住的地方，但这种卡关并不是血栓而是罡栓。常常是个别表达抽象含义的字或主谓宾等语序的不明导致其他的字义进入两择选项，而不管是开窍还是查攻略还是仓哥托梦解开个别几个傻逼文字时，剩下的只有压缩到极致涌出去♿️大珠小珠落玉盘了。 非常爽。除此之外似乎没什么可说的。本质是非常学院派的游戏，而因我对核心玩法的生疏，无法做出横向比较。 这个游戏解密的方式是给出一组涂鸦图画，找出与其对应的文字。如果一系列的文字全对，就能获得这些文字的精准含义。非要何不食肉糜的说，对于抽象概念，涂鸦的含义是发散的而非收敛，但这个问题鉴于图像的媒介特性无法避免，这时对于抽象概念，我们可以在肢体语言和场景之外加一个新的维度，以紧逼文字实际含义的空间。或许是配音？我不知道，但这肯定是颠覆整个游戏底层设计的变化。 如果加入配音，解密深度和设计难度会成指数级增加销量腰斩级减少，一瞬间我就能想到三个扩充的方向。如果只是为了区分抽象概念，有点奢侈。 另外类偏旁部首构词法suki！不同民族的语言主谓宾语序不同suki！

Delightful. Challenging but intuitive, wonderful art design, satisfying ending. Like a more nebulous crossword that held my attention for 13 hours to 100%.

i like language puzzles and I like learning languages. this was a nice puzzle game for me

Solving puzzles is hard when you cant read or understand anything so you gotta figure out languages from context clues and such. Theres different languages with like ~30 words each or so. The game lets you fill in whatever you want as soon as you get a new word and as long as its not solved (with a sorta Obra Dinn "get 3 right" method) everything will talk back in your own jumbled word fragments. Can be pretty funny and somewhat amazing when youre kinda off but it still somewhat works. Visually striking, good music Puzzles overall are good and make sense, theres some math but its bearable. Got stuck once because it wasnt entirely clear something could be interacted with in a certain way, coulda used an extra button prompt but thats about it.

好游戏，巴别塔圣歌是也 有很多迷题迷题都还是设计的很有意思。 除了一些解密有些晦涩难懂以外都很棒，不过也见识到了不用精彩的画面也能做出来优秀的游戏。 大家都很可爱捏

드디어 엔딩 봤네... 길치라서 좀 오래 걸렸어요... 중간에 어순 이상한 꼬불 문자 때문에 너무 힘들었음... 그래도 다섯 언어 모두 독창적이고 실존 언어를 많이 연구한게 보여요... 언어학적인 면에서도 훌륭하고 퍼즐이나 스토리도 나쁘지 않아서 재밌게 플레이 했어요

破译字符过程中一度怀疑自己是不是脑袋有问题，但不妨碍我说巴别塔是神作！

谜题难度把控得不错，属于基本不用看攻略但破解后又很有成就感。跑图确实冗长，很需要耐心。语言设计得不错，不同种族的语序、复数、否定等形式都不一样，尤其诗人的语言几个语法点都跟别人不同，做翻译的时候感觉自己真强hh。隐士的语言中字符组成很有意思，很喜欢这个idea，但这一关莫名加快了节奏，直接给了几个翻译器就全破了，其实有点可惜，如果能顺着他们字符组成的思路慢慢破解会更有趣。反而上到塔顶至最终结局中间那段有点长且莫名其妙，还不如把精力留给隐士关。 最终神明的字符变换也很妙，不说了我要再去看一次。
