Chants of Sennaar

I wish I could play this game for the first time again. I keep using it as an example of how to do a secret language mechanic right in discussions. The story is told through a lot of environmental storytelling and, while the stealth parts can be frustrating, most mechanics support it. I really enjoyed figuring out words and symbols based on context clues, cognates, and some written translations. Having the chance to write down my guesses, then see if they were correct or refine them further, was really neat.

good.

No words to describe this game about words. A masterpiece of art

Nice and a little hard game. It is short, but it is very refreshing with a good story. I recommend it.

Very good puzzle gaem

如果世界也是巴别塔，奈何世界也是巴别塔。

美术和音乐都给人带来耳目一新的体验；游戏的内涵也非常深刻。前期比较慢热，零零散散地玩了好多次才通关，打出real ending之后马不停蹄地去看剧情讲解！

good game, interesting game. The last 3-4 hours it kinda ♥♥♥♥♥ the bed though. The layout of the last proper area was extremely infuriating and I think I did the puzzles in the worst possible way, you can understand what the devs were going for, but the sequential areas just feel like they're in the wrong order. You're stumbling about randomly for so long compared to the other areas, and god help you if you run into something you're supposed to do later. It feels so directionless. After that it doesn't get much better, there's just a lot of chores as well as a lot of stuff that felt really out of place (literally), in a game which had otherwise felt really subtle in its world building. Fortunately though, I think it ultimately does stick the landing despite my frustration with it's last 4th. One nitpick is that I wish the journal didn't tell you the answers. Probably a hot take but I think for me it would've insensitivised me to further engage in the structure and context of each of the languages rather than having a reliable way to find the answers by brute forcing a game of charades.

同胞，我们是也！ 很高兴对上了脑回路，语言的设计很巧妙，配乐和画面太美丽了；跑路有点牢，追逐和迷路有点难受，好在完全瑕不掩瑜！ 解谜的时候真得自己记住一些语法和用语，中文翻译有时候太意译了哈哈哈，在关联的时候还是得靠自己的脑子，成功关联真的很有成就感；最后真结局关于God的转换实在是太巧妙了！
