The best puzzle game I have ever played. The game is far more than simply matching symbols and words together. Solving its puzzles requires you to understand not only the literal translations of different languages, but also their grammar. To achieve this, the game uses a wide variety of different approaches, and the creativity that went into designing these mechanics and finding different ways to make language itself part of the puzzles is genuinely mind-blowing at times. Alongside all of this, you encounter a great story, listen to an excellent soundtrack, and see beautiful visuals. It features incredible art direction. I really hope we get to see another game from this team in the same vein as soon as possible. I'm going to miss this tower and its strange, lovable inhabitants. 10 / 10

Overwhelmingly positive for a reason. One of the most different, abstract, and yet intuitive puzzle games I've ever played. I think I had to look up maybe 2 minor hints during my playthrough because I simply overlooked something in a room and thought I was missing something, but otherwise, everything felt very solve-able and just made sense, though it may have taken a bit of deciphering and a couple attempts. I only wish I could play through it for the first time again.

A phenomenal deduction game based somewhat loosely on linguistics, leveraging heavily on the concept of linguistic determinism and relativism. Even if you aren't into that aspect of language, it's a great deduction and puzzle game. That said, if I never have to do this game's sneak minigame again it'll be too soon. I did come up against a particularly wild bug, where I had collected all the graphemes in the game, but the power went out, and when it came back up I was still in the last stage with none of the graphemes collected. Re-collecting them was actually a kind of neat, backwards puzzle. But, I'd still advise you to not lose power.

i would def recommend this game, although i had a few issues. spoiler free review with a couple of general tips. it took me 20 hours to do everything but i'm slow, so i'd trust other reviews more for playtime. i was determined to beat it without a walkthrough and spent an embarrassing amount of endgame play time searching for a couple of hidden things that i just kept walking right by. and i just kept getting lost in the sewers! warning: do not rely too much on holding shift to show interactable things. they have a few cleverly hidden areas/things to interact with. meanwhile the actual language translation was not too hard, because the "languages" are just pictographs. it was still fun to solve it, and i probably would've struggled with something truly linguistically complex. the most cool part, both story wise and puzzle wise, is the goal to learn multiple languages and translate between them. to me, this justifies how simple each language is. a couple times, i correctly guessed the word meanings, but then struggled to guess which journal picture corresponded to which word. i found this mildly annoying, but it honestly became funny that i was that bad at it. if you have my same problem, you don't actually need the journal solution to progress! just go back to it later if you're really confused. the game's story is about helping different groups communicate and resolve issues. i saw it as more metaphorical than trying to address real international relations. it's simple, but quite hopeful and uplifting. however, not all of the problems were due to translation issues, and knowing how some of these people canonically treated each other, it feels odd that things wrap up so neatly without any hurt feelings. i would've preferred a happy but more realistic ending.

I wish I could give myself memory loss so I could re-live the wonder of playing this game for the first time again. Not only are the graphics and soundtrack gorgeous, the gameplay is incredibly satisfying and intuitive. At no point does the game hold your hand, but every step and every puzzle is set up to incrementally introduce you to new concepts and allows you to arrive to the solution entirely on your own. As someone who has been playing puzzle games (both IRL, tabletop, and digital) for over a decade, I have never played a puzzle game like Chants of Sennaar. I'll be forever chasing the thrill of playing Chants of Sennaar!
