Chants of Sennaar

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。

Chants of Sennaar is one of those rare games where time quietly disappears while playing. 玩的时候本来只想再解开一个符号，回过神来却已经过去了几个小时，因为每一个答案后面都会出现新的问题。 La curiosité devient la principale motivation, et comprendre le monde devient sa propre récompense. La narration est fascinante précisément parce qu’elle évite presque toujours les longues explications directes. የግንቡ ታሪክ፣ የተለያዩ ማኅበረሰቦቹ እና በመካከላቸው ያለው አለመግባባት በቋንቋ፣ በልብስ፣ በሥነ ሕንፃ እና በሥርዓቶች ይገለጣሉ። Environmental storytelling is superb, with almost every mural, room, gesture, and repeated symbol quietly revealing something important. Hver hæð turnsins hefur sína eigin menningu og sjónræna sjálfsmynd, en finnst samt vera hluti af sama brotna heimi. Discere linguam etiam significat intellegere quid illa societas amet, timeat, vel ab aliis abscondat. 翻译因此不只是解谜，而是慢慢理解这些人为何分开，又如何重新建立关系。 Cada idioma cambia la manera de observar el espacio, porque una palabra recién comprendida puede transformar por completo el significado de una puerta, una señal o una conversación anterior. The visual design strengthens everything with flat colors, clean shapes, and enormous spaces that resemble an ancient illustrated manuscript. L’atmosphère reste calme et mystérieuse, mais elle ne paraît jamais vide, chaque détail semble placé avec intention. Helsti gallinn er hversu mikið þarf að fara aftur um svæði sem þegar hafa verið könnuð. 游戏看起来允许玩家进行非线性探索，线索和地点也可以用不同顺序发现，但实际进度却经常要求一个非常线性的解法。 Cette contradiction peut devenir fatigante, surtout lorsqu’un petit élément manqué oblige à traverser plusieurs étages encore une fois. Tamen haec difficultas voluptatem totius itineris non destruit. *Chants of Sennaar* remains an absorbing, beautiful game whose puzzles, narrative, and world design fit together so naturally that understanding its people feels just as rewarding as understanding their words.

评分：9/10 遗憾的是steamdeck上中文输入不太方便，扣一分。 "游戏，愚诗人享；高塔，沉默筑之；其壁，言语碎之；众人互照，终归一同。" 《巴别塔圣歌》是我今年玩到的最独特的一款游戏。感谢hb月包，之前这个游戏在demo阶段就很吸引我。 它用一个看似小众的"破译文字"玩法，撑起一段有趣的解谜故事。游戏的魅力在于"猜词"的过程。当你面对一幅壁画、一段手势，绞尽脑汁推断某个符号的含义时，那种灵光一闪的瞬间……每一个字符都是你亲手"翻译"出来的，这种沉浸感让你真正成为了一个探索未知文明的语言学家。各个种族各有自己的语言和偏见，彼此误解、相互隔绝。随着你一步步破译他们的文字，你会发现：野蛮的背后有信仰，冷漠的内核藏温情。像素画风细腻而有辨识度，不同种族的色调区分鲜明。 总而言之，《巴别塔圣歌》是一部慢热但后劲极大的作品。它不需要华丽的战斗或复杂的系统，只需要你静下心来，倾听、观察、理解。如果你喜欢解谜、叙事驱动的游戏，或者单纯想体验一次"用语言连接世界"的旅程，它值得你投入十几个小时。

好游戏，注意避免剧透。难度适中面向大众，推荐不看攻略尝试自行解谜。

Seriously one of the best games that I've ever played. The attention to detail, the depth of the story, and the way the languages are all constructed makes this an amazing title!

다른 세계의 언어를 보며 이해하려 하는 것은 재미는 있으나, 스팀덱으로 플레이하는 것은 추천하기 힘듭니다. 한글을 입력 하려고 하면 받침으로 들어간 자음이 분리 되려는 시늉 조차 안합니다. 그렇기에 "난ㅡㄴ 옛ㅣ를 들었다." 같은 상황을 보기 싫다면 PC 같은 환경에서 즐기는 것을 권장드립니다. 물론, 한 글자 작성하고 띄어쓰기하면 공백 없이 다음 글자를 문제 없이 작성할 수 있습니다. 아무튼, 내가 모르는 언어를 사용하는 해외에 떨어지게 되면 어떻게 해야 될지 알겠음. 그건 바로 어린이 동화책부터 찾는거임!!!

Nice Point & Click. Aside from one achievement (Fashion Victim), everything else is reachable by just playing the game and going back to puzzles you couldn't complete before. Not too long but that's a plus, it doesn't overstay its welcome. Worth getting if you like such games, try the demo first tho.

Few puzzle games manage to connect their central mechanic and their theme as perfectly as Chants of Sennaar does. The best part is obviously deciphering the languages yourself. You start with symbols that mean absolutely nothing, then slowly identify individual words, grammatical patterns, sentence structures, and eventually reach the point where something that looked completely alien half an hour ago suddenly becomes readable. That process is incredibly satisfying. The first two languages were probably my favorites. They are also the easiest, while the third, fourth, and fifth layers become progressively more difficult. I eventually had to use a little help near the end because the last couple of sections were simply too difficult for me to solve completely on my own. Still, figuring out most of the languages myself was easily the highlight of the game. What makes the game much more interesting than a simple translation puzzle, though, is how perfectly the gameplay fits its Tower of Babel inspiration. In the biblical story, humanity's shared language is divided, people become unable to understand one another, and they scatter. Chants of Sennaar takes that idea and turns misunderstanding itself into the central conflict. Different peoples live within the same tower but remain separated by language, culture, assumptions, and prejudice. As the player, you don't solve that problem by becoming stronger or defeating an enemy. You learn how everyone speaks. By understanding each group well enough to translate between them, you gradually become a bridge between cultures that have forgotten how to communicate. That's such a simple idea, but turning language learning itself into the mechanism through which you restore communication and peace is brilliant. Not a long game, but one of the most conceptually elegant puzzle games I've played. BTW I also love the art style.
