In this award-winning puzzle adventure game, play as the Traveler on a quest to reunite the Peoples of the Tower. Observe, listen, and decipher ancient languages in a fascinating universe inspired by the Myth of Babel.

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!

    I’ve played it a few months ago and really enjoyed it! It’s a great little puzzle game and was a lot of fun to complete. Albeit I was a little disappointed with the last level but I can somewhat understand that some people might have been tired with the puzzles at this point.

      It just scratches my brain to decipher languages, especially since it’s a logographic language. Love those.

      And: “GREETINGS STRANGER” “GO UP” (I cheated, i used the wiki :( )
