I don't know if this is a good community to post to, but it's a cool game and i want to share it somewhere.

I think i heard about this game in a conlang group. I recently played the demo, and it was amazing. The game's idea is pretty novel too. You decipher a logographic language based on context and clues, and you have to manually decipher the words meaning, too; so you could translate it wrong. in the "ME ME TOWER GO PRAISE" box, i'm not sure if the PRAISE hieroglyph is actually correct. I love linguistics, and to see a game made around it is awesome.

A devotee saying "ME ME TOWER GO PRAISE" The guard's have their own language!

huh, that's a shame. didn't match my experience at all. my main gripe was with the traveling, but then i went back in a year later and saw that they added a skip button to it.

i'm glad you enjoyed it!

i did finally get my fix of archaeology and linguistics, but separately

Chants of Sennaar & Outer Wilds (best bloody game ever btw, one of those once in a generation marvels that make people beg for amnesia so they can experience it for the first time again. if you want to play it don't look up anything about it you gotta trust me on that. unfortunately, the release was overshadowed by Outer Worlds that released very soon after and had the Obsidian RPG hype behind it ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

if you feel like riving vicariously i highly recommend beccabytes' playthrough, she made her own supercut. it's rare to see someone so completely get it and still be very vocal about their thoughts.

also joseph anderson's one of you want to see someone completely bork the entire thing.

ooooo, going to put that on as soon as i get home! there's so few playthroughs of Outer Wilds it's crazy

i also will experience hype2.0 when i get that art of outer wilds, making of, and interviews with devs book (and a model ship!!!!! gotta wait 6months for that though, danged preorders) god what i'd give to play that game again for the first time. so few things in this world make me want to scream at the top of my lungs MORE even when i know there's nothing to be added to the story and it's perfect as it is

eelis is a youtube channel that makes supercuts of people playing ow, if you feel like binging :)

also, play obra dinn if you haven't. not the name thing but similar "whoa" moments
