I got the concept and the game did well introducing different ways to interact and learn. Then it turned into a maze game about solving puzzles and finding needles in haystacks and the language clues got more abstract and cryptic. I feel it presented things in a clever way with too little handholding. I don’t need spoon feeding but this is not about language as this is not how anyone would learn a language. It’s logic puzzles in a maze with too much walking back and forth to figure anything out. Just not a fun way to spend my time. Too little thrill of solving anything.

极具特色的画风，难度不高的各种解谜，略微让人晕头转向的地图，结合在一起堪称艺术品，一上手就停不下来

游戏，我之所爱也

很好玩，但是路也太绕了，根本分不清哪边是哪边啊

Unique puzzle solving game with the use of language. Mechanics are fun to play with and the game design is minimalist striking for every area. Highly recommended for others to try especially since this game is also worth its price.

hope they make more

I LOVED THIS GAME! If you like light to medium puzzles (subjective and ofc your mileage will vary - I resorted to the occasional guide for some sections when my brain refused to compute) involving symbols and semantics - go for it! The movement-based sections are a little tedious for a game with point-and-click level traversal and a fixed camera as there's litte 'feel' to the dynamics. However, the game is very forgiving in these respects so it's not a big deal in my book. -- SPOILER SECTION -- I really enjoyed how you're given free reign with what definitions you ascribe to each symbol. It gives a lot of freedom of interpretation and really shows how flexible communication can be while still arriving at shared meaning. Piecing together the interactions like this was my favourite aspect of the game. Maybe a hot take, but the warriors and the bards sections were not my favourite. Warriors because of the stealth parts, and the bards - oddly enough - because of the language. I really had trouble distinguishing the different words at the start of the level, so I felt overwhelmed at times, which I know is totally the point but it frustrated me a little. The two sections after are chef's kiss though, the 'true' ending really hit home for me and is totally worth pursuing. If you've made it that far, might as well go all in.
