The study and interpretation of language is a captivating subject that has inspired countless books and academic works. Yet with the recent launch of Chants of Sennaar, it might be the first puzzle adventure game to build its core mechanics around this concept. And it's currently available on mobile platforms!
You might remember our previous coverage of Chants of Sennaar. The game transports you to a mysterious fantasy tower rising from the desert sands, where you embody the enigmatic Traveler striving to unite the tower's fragmented societies.
How do you accomplish this? As noted earlier, language decoding serves as your primary tool. You'll unravel forgotten symbols and grammatical structures while encountering distinct tower cultures, each possessing unique languages. Through gradual interpretation, you'll mend relationships among the tower's inhabitants by bridging communication divides to restore balance.
