About
Winner of Best Indie Game at the 2024 New York Game Awards and nominated multiple times at other ceremonies including The Game Awards and the BAFTA, Chants of Sennaar is a critically-acclaimed puzzle and adventure game developed by Rundisc.
Divided since the dawn of time, the Peoples of the Tower no longer speak to each other, isolated by fear or mistrust. It is said that one day, a Traveler will find the wisdom to break down the walls and restore the balance. Travel the endless steps of a prodigious labyrinth, uncover the truth and unveil the mysteries of this fascinating universe where ancient languages are both the lock and the key.
Inspired by the myth of Babel, discover an enigmatic and vast tower. As the Traveler, delve into a world full of mysteries, where Peoples have grown distant, unable to communicate with each other anymore. Begin your adventure in a prodigious tower inhabited by five distinct Peoples, observe, listen, and strive to mend the bonds of distrust.
With a smart gameplay system, explore and solve various puzzles to uncover the mysteries of five different interconnected languages. Always guided by your trusty notebook, note each symbol, keep track of your surroundings, engage in conversations with people and unravel the meaning of every glyph. Each step will pave your way to the top of the Tower as each word will restore the link between People.
Dive into an enthralling and colorful world full of secrets. Tumble headlong into a beautiful world inspired by impactful European comics authors where every floor of the Tower possesses its own visual identity, supported by distinctive technological levels, architecture and culture. Embark on a poetic and enchanting journey driven by a soul-stirring, lyrical soundtrack, made by Thomas Brunet.

Super jeu d'énigme basé sur le langage et la symbologie, avec une direction artistique très cool et un beau message. Je l'ai fait d'une seule traite!
incredible game!! the only note is that i think the game could have been harder by being less generous in terms of confirming your assumptions about words, and perhaps allowing a double click of sorts to go to a door quickly if you've already been in that room, so as to not require walking up and down stairs which is relatively finicky :P i hope the developer makes more games because they really created something amazing here.
Loved it. Very enjoyable traduction mechanics.
This is a fantastic puzzle-type game. Very creative with a novel premise. I would love to see a sequel or similar game from them.
This is a beautiful game with a remarkable level of detail. Cozy up and start talking to the villagers of Sennar; but don’t forget, you’ll need your wits to truly understand them all ;)
好玩。结局可能有一点点心理恐怖请做好准备）
非常好玩 不适合路痴玩
好评！语言学启蒙~
I have to recommend this puzzle solving game to everyone. Yes, not only to enigmas officionados but also to the average player who did not dive into the puzzle games world too much. It is not only accessible but also intelectually stimulating, and as someone who's interested by linguistics and etymology, I have been pleased to see the detail and effort put into this game. The graphics, game design and music are all to be praised as well!
It is fun to decipher the languages. Puzzles and stories are interesting too.
