I started playing this game Chants of Sennaar yesterday and I am fucking obsessed with it, I don't want to do anything else. I have forgotten to eat lunch. I was gonna go outside and have an adventure and ride a trolley today but I'm busy solving puzzles and translating fictional languages. I am disappointed already that this game apparently isn't very long and will come to an end at some point. I'm hungry and I have to pee but I'm making a dictionary. help.
@Mustbetuesday oh that sounds really interesting!
A friend recommended me a game with a similar translation theme called Heaven's Vault, where you're an archaeologist and the game's focus is you deciphering an ancient language. I haven't played it yet either but if you're still after the deciphering a new language part maybe you could try that one next!
@atinyfairy Thank you for the suggestion! The downside of Chants of Sennaar is there are non-translation sections (mazes, stealth areas, etc) but the cool thing is there are several different languages spoken by several different groups of people, and you translate between the different languages and help make connections between the groups!
@Mustbetuesday that's really cool! I studied a bunch of languages in college (in one of my linguistics courses we studied a new language every week) and I've always been interested in stuff like this so I'm excited to give it a try!
@atinyfairy That sounds really neat! I hope you like the game!
