Chants of Sennaar Part 1 - lots of people recommended me this game, and for great reason. You're placed outside the Tower of Babel and are confronted with a people whose language you don't speak. You must learn their language and utilize it to figure out how to climb higher up the tower.

I think you had to create a fire using the lens in the cave with the preacher as a check to ensure you have the lens, so you can't skip getting it by brute-forcing the graveyard puzzle.

@globalincident694 7 ай бұрын

That's true, but there are later puzzles for which there is no similar check. For instance, to leave the next area after the end of this video, you have to find the right combination of bells to ring. And even if you don't brute force, if you are better at figuring out the language than the game expects, you can easily bypass about a quarter of the whole area.

it has indiana jones vibes. he got hardlocked by a lens too.

@8knights841 7 ай бұрын

The check probably exists because it was the tutorial, and they don't want you skipping that. Beyond that, if you're that good, go for gold. At least, that's what I think.

@notsam2270 7 ай бұрын

@@globalincident694 hopefully there's no consequences to skipping those areas, it would seem great to figure out a language before the game lets you decipher it via the book (for example, figuring out some sort of roman numeral system which i assume is present in this game before the game just counts for you or something)

@globalincident694 7 ай бұрын

@@notsam2270 There are consequences to skipping those areas, in that you will miss out on information related to the language - although if you're clever enough to skip those areas, you're probably also clever enough to work it out anyway. Beyond that, there aren't really any consequences. It is possible to figure some things out before the book, but there are some things that are literally impossible without it. In fact, it is sometimes possible (if you don't talk to every character you meet) for the book to prompt you for a word before you actually hear the word spoken.

@jan_AK 7 ай бұрын

the language deciphered actually has a lot of interesting features - no articles (no words for the, a etc.) - plurals are marked by doubling (for example, plants = plant plant) - minimal vocabulary - minimal grammar and syntax (looking at = look, etc.) - no question marking (can you help me? = you help me) - words that have similar meanings have similar glyphs - verbs have one form (e.g. looking = looked = looks ) - complete lack of copula (no words for “is” , “are” , “am”) this is a very interesting game, i would love to see more of it!

@HaloInverse 7 ай бұрын

Not so much with modifier _complexity,_ but the grammar rules (and compound-glyph rules) definitely change between languages. Also, the languages don't always have words for the same concepts (different cultures -> different worldviews/priorities), so sometimes you have to get "creative" when translating sentences from one language to another.
