《我写了一本字典,叩问[spoiler] 音素 [/spoiler]是什么》 [i]Kevin wants to know what [spoiler] phoneme [/spoiler] is, so he writes a [spoiler] corpus [/spoiler] within a dictionary. Welcome to the unbeatable [spoiler] phonetics 101 [/spoiler]. [/i]
I really wanted to enjoy this. As someone who loves languages, figuring this out seemed like a fun challenge! Then I actually opened up the game. I like a puzzle, I love House of Leaves...but Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christ, this is not it, my man. This goes beyond a fun puzzle and has turned into a professor's pet project for Linguistics. Impressive but not fun except to a small group of people. From what I can tell, there's no real benefit to the game itself outside of the dictionary that's provided as the 'manual' of the game. My best guess is that it's there for the color-coded pieces to figure out what words are what sort- adjectives, verbs, adverbs, etc. If you want to figure out how to PRONOUCE the words in the dictionary, by all means, pay for the game and enjoy. If not, just grab the dictionary itself and try smashing your face against it to figure out what the hell it all means. I'm done. Call me weak, call me simple, I don't care. I stopped playing obtuse puzzle games like Myst a long time ago, and it's certainly not something I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miss. Like I said, impressive but you have an interesting idea of what fun is, dev.

非常酷的游戏,但是到底什么人会玩啊,太SM了
[h1]6/10,当读字典需要一本字典[/h1] 好像在某个节点之后,语言类破译解密游戏突然迎来井喷,前有巴别塔圣歌和Tunic这种引导丝滑,各方面都出色的现象级iii游戏,后有文字化化这种在adv乙女游戏流程中和作者对电波但也意外破圈的出挑小品;本作呢,不像这二类的任何一者,它建立的根本就是解构了字典这一语言桥梁,让你不得不用推理技巧推敲每个陌生单词所对应的意思,最终通过发音破译。 上文描述多少有些抽象,容我拿一个实例说明:在你打开游戏中这本字典的前几页,你能看到本游戏中为数不多的图形化解释,但是它们只涉及游戏控制,所以当你发现Q和E用于前后翻页,而这两个功能对应的ginger语是subtet和subtat的时候,你就对这两个词以及sub这个词缀有意识了,此时,按照字母顺序把字典翻到s篇,果然subtat和subtet,以及其一众变体如subtate, subtatef等,再通过这些词语的属性,你就能基本猜出a. k. 和sj.等对应的词性了。这个过程是完全基于逻辑的,但解密的成就感反馈则有些不足,因为上述成就只会发生在你的小本本上,游戏里你还需要通过一套繁琐的WASD+方向键+左右Shift+空格的反人类操作,分别控制舌头和嘴唇完成这些单词的发音,来最终反馈到游戏进程。 这个过程真的是完全没考虑过用户体验,但是归根结底,这个游戏本身也像是一次艺术实验:在无数次的交叉引用和验证后,你或许有机会真的完成它,但是当你合上书页的时候,你的创举也随之弥散,你努力的痕迹和进程也被一并重置了。嗯这个游戏连存档功能都没设计,或许它想将学习的概念一并解构……吗?

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44181848/] 【更多适合Steam Deck的好游戏推荐,请关注GPD掌机鉴赏家!】[/url] 好游戏。于晦涩中探索知识的震撼之旅。初见《Ginger》,其独特的设定便令人眼前一亮——以舌头与嘴唇的微妙操控,模拟人类发音,拼凑单词、构建句子,直至形成一本书。这种创新的交互方式,打破了传统游戏的操作模式,为玩家带来了全新的体验。尽管晦涩难懂,但游戏所营造出的氛围却极具魅力。海量的词条、交叉引用的迷宫,如同一座知识的宝库,等待着玩家去挖掘。《Ginger》是一场关于知识与学习的深刻隐喻。它以独特的形式,引导玩家在挑战中不断前行,去追寻知识的真谛,去感受那种在迷茫中顿悟的震撼。
如果给自己一耳光会很爽的话,强烈推荐买这个游戏。 可以享受到作者把我大脑里的水分吸干然后用姜汁填满得奇妙快感。
let me tell you something magical: if you hang around deciphering, sometimes(not often, only happened to me once) you might listen to random pretty music recordings from the author. i know i did. and for some reason that elevated it all so much? a delight for linguistics enthusiasts and puzzle fans alike.

THE ♥♥♥♥ DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE 26 CONJUNCTIONS????
太抽象了哥们,控制舌头、喉咙、嘴唇来发音,读出字典上的字,但我记不住啊,你发一个音要考虑是否控制shift,w/a/s/d/,空格以及上下左右,我脑子烧了,但是看起来还是有点好玩?
