고작 1020원에 샀지만 그럼에도 환불함.. 플레이를 할 수가 없음. 님들 다 아이큐 200이야?
非常考验对语言学了解的游戏,使我感觉自己像个文盲^^ 玩完巴别塔圣歌,找类似游戏找来的== 引导做得很差,瞎看半天才发现右边有个信封图标可以点进去看邮件。 读音还算好拼,翻译是真的难,石碑上的图案,呃,看图猜意思我实在是猜力竭了,好难TT 总之,拼完读音后,就开始搜攻略,感觉自己行了就自己研究一会,研究不出来就又去看攻略,最后实在搞不明白,照着攻略抄完了全成就TT 以后也许会再玩一遍吧(等我先三分钟热度去学习学习语言学)
I chose to buy this game because it was on sale and I really like solving puzzles. But after playing a few hours without making any noticeable progress, I can almost assuredly say I will never be able to solve this on my own. The apparent goal is to decipher groups of 1-4 symbols in order to reveal instructions for opening a box. But with no starter puzzles, no meaningful indication of progress, and a supposed Rosetta stone that offers nothing definitive, it literally becomes a race between one's patience and random guessing. That's not my idea of fun. Unless you have a PhD in linguistics or work as a code breaker for the CIA, I do not recommend this game.

Un jeu très très appréciable ! J'étais assez surprise et déstabilisée (positivement) par le caractère très "organique". Par conséquent, l'énigme peut paraître assez difficile à aborder, à continuer. Mais c'est une expérience vraiment unique que je n'ai retrouvé dans aucun jeu. Un seul point négatif : le jeu peut être assez frustrant car [spoiler]certains mots demeurent incertains, et leur traduction dépend des interprétations des joueureuses (dont leur langue et leur culture)[/spoiler]. Le jeu vaut largement le détour, y compris pour son prix !!!
Não vale seu tempo Serei breve; Linguagem é a porta de entrada para a cultura de um povo, um fenômeno humano. Entretanto esse jogo peca em apresentá-la apenas como o conjunto de todos os elementos linguísticos vigentes em uma determinada comunidade, ou seja, um código. Eu fiquei na dúvida de como essa obra tem uma nota tão positiva aqui na steam, mas lendo as reviews eu percebo que o critério para muitas delas foi a dificuldade mais elevada e a carência de dicas. Se migalhas te satisfazem, esse jogo de fato é perfeito para você. Chants of Sennaar acerta não por ser mais fácil, mas por apresentar suas linguagem através de cultura, arte, arquitetura, interação interpessoal, dentre outros. Epigraph, mesmo possuindo a coragem de fazer algo diferente, falha por esvaziar o aspecto humano da língua.
Cute little linguistic puzzle. The included glossing is very convenient.
