Chants of Sennaar

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

当年学英语的时候，就总是很好奇最开始的时候两门语言是怎么连接的，这个游戏给出了解答。 解密和故事的设计都很不错，非常值得一试。

good.

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.

I downloaded this game at 11pm, stopped to sleep at 4:30AM, and played it to completion when I woke up. I don't think its a masterpiece, but its very good. The satisfaction of being able to figure out what people are actually saying is hard to find elsewhere. During my playthrough, a certain group had a very dim view of a word, lets say "boat" that I genuinely transcribed the word to mean "dumbass" and was wondering why these people were so hostile! Turns out they did have a word for dumbass; it was just a different, unrelated word. The game is very good at giving you information in fun ways. Early on, I had plenty of nouns rattling around in my notepad when a stranger offered a game that had me pick a random card out of four before they'd do the same and whoever got the better card won. Thing is; these four cards connected to four of my nouns. Chants of Sennaar used this random strangers game to establish a hierarchy between these four nouns using this rock-paper-gun game! And this information was then tested and proven useful later! Brilliant! Basically you should play this if something like Return of the Obra Dinn or Outer Wilds is in your top ten best games.

夯爆了，神作

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.

I liked! Very nice puzzles! A few head scratchers, bard language is so difficult...

好玩
