Hard to put down
This game caused me to memorize the grammar structure on how to call someone an idiot in a fictional language rather than study for my finals next week.

Language decoding done well
Language decoding done well. It's likely not going to age great as the genre gets explored more, and more robust linguistic games get developed in the future, but right now this is one of the best you'll find. What fascinated me as much, if not more than the language puzzles, is the enchanting world of Sennaar. It's vaguely Asian/Arabic and loosely inspired by the ancient Tower of Babel stories, but it has its own unique lore with distinct, memorable cultures, blending elements of fantasy and sci-fi.
