I played a new game called Chants of Sennaar, and I enjoyed it. I would swear I had already written about this, but I don't see it in my previous toots?

My son suggested it to me because he had seen it reviewed by one of the gamers he follows. My kiddo thought I would enjoy it because it's a puzzle and language game. Wow, he does know me.

He had initially thought he would build a custom level in Fortnite that was an homage to Chants of Sennaar, and then he was going to have me play that. But his ideas were pretty big, and he realized it would take him a year to accomplish that. That's when he said, "Mom, you may as well play the real game, because I may never actually get this finished."

I appreciate his honesty. And I also kind of appreciate not having to go play a custom Fortnite level...

So I got the real thing on Steam.

It did not take long to play the game, but even though it was relatively short, I enjoyed it. My son sat with me a few times (he could not help giving me hints) and it was fun to work through the puzzles with him.

It's a single-player game, the graphics are relatively simple (but attractive), and the gameplay is pretty easy. You click your mouse where you want the character to move, and you type in a notebook when you want to make a note about what a glyph means.

If you like games where you have to solve some puzzles, don't mind running around, and you enjoy piecing together simple languages (in the form of written glyphs and transcribed conversations), you might give Chants of Sennaar a try. At the time of this writing, it is selling for $12.99 on Steam.

#Gaming #ChantsOfSennaar

I finally played Chants of Sennaar and it's super fun!

Language puzzles in a fantastical Tower of Babel-esque setting. Since it's an approachable video game, the linguistics never gets super complicated, but they do mix things up enough that it's not just a funny way to write English. Fun story and beautifully colorful visuals too.

#Chantsofsennaar is a really cool and great games, and I love doing some #fanlang of the games language 😁 Here's a try of a talk between a devotee and a warrior, seen by a bard 😁

#videogames end of february moved on to #chantsofsennaar with the girlfriend. i love a game that commits 100% to a visual style, especially if they get funky with it. im basically always of the opinion that deliberate stylization choices are always going to age better than attempts at pixel perfect realism.

my favorite part of this game was going back through the tower at the end and seeing all the little things that changed 🥹

D#04 (2025-02-11) #ChantsOfSennaar #demo

A #PointAndClick #puzzle #AdventureGame focused on figuring out a fictional language as you progress through a story seemingly focused on devotees of a sun god.

I had fun with the demo, and I'm both looking forward to playing the full game and seeing more future games about deciphering languages. (#HeavensVault is already in my Steam library, but I haven't played it yet.)

I also really enjoyed the warm and stylized desert aesthetic.

A screenshot from the Chants of Sennaar demo. The player character encounters a stranger in what seems to be a complex aqueduct facility, where turquoise water needs to be drained from the yellow-orange stone structures in order to clear a way to the door at the end.

The stranger speaks in a language the player doesn't understand, and it's up to the player to use the contexts of the glyphs displayed throughout the scenes to figure out their meaning.

A screenshot from the Chants of Sennaar demo. This shows a close-up of a lever and a sign with two "labels" that represent the upright and lowered states of said lever.

Both labels feature two glyphs; one of which is shared between both labels. As this is a lever that opens and closes a door, it is easy to conclude that the common glyph means "door" and that the other two represent the open or closed states of it.

A screenshot from the Chants of Sennaar demo. Shown is a book with a series of illustrations of one of the devotees making different gestures. (Waving, pointing away from themselves, and pointing at themselves.)

At this point, it's up to the player to connect each illustration with a glyph, and if successful determine the meaning of those glyphs.

The player is also always free to attach a note to each glyph if they think they've figured out the meaning from context clues, but the true meaning is only locked in after completing one of these two-page spreads in the notebook.

A screenshot from the Chants of Sennaar demo. This picture shows a view of the outside of the walled city the game seems to take place within.

The player character stands on a terrace with some green palm trees around it, with a the enormous yellow walls of the city taking up half of the screen space behind it. Further beyond the walls, on the right-hand side of the screen, you can see the orange-brown desert with a bluish-green sky and a couple of drifting clouds above. In the distance, a flock of birds fly across that sky.

L'altro giorno ho finito #ChantsOfSennaar e già mi manca. Sono stati giorni di ghirigori e appunti presi su foglietti volanti che letti da altri mi avrebbero fatto passare per pazzo, ma la soddisfazione che ho provato man mano che decifravo le lingue della torre e riuscivo a far comunicare i popoli dei vari piani vale da sola tutto il gioco.

(Poi è perfetto da giocare su Steam Deck; i foglietti li ho usati in aggiunta al sistema di associazioni dei glifi del gioco per ragionarci meglio ^^)

Una figura incappucciata si affaccia da una balconata di una grande torre che si staglia su un panorama desertico, mentre uno stormo di uccelli vola sopra due grandi nubi bianche all'orizzonte.

Après Planet of Lana dans le prochain #stream de Jeudi à 20h30 on débutera #CitizenSleeper et j'ai déjà décidé du jeu suivant qui sera #ChantsOfSennaar. J'hésitais fortement entre les 2 qui vont encore une fois pas mal changer de ce qu'on a fait jusque là j'ai hâte 💜

March ? mostly playing demos, from #ChantsOfSennaar (convinced), #SuperLuckysTale (beautiful, but not appealing) and #snakebird (pure genius gem)

Turns out that a Philosopher's Stone is just another key.

Yesterday, I finished #ChantsOfSennaar, a video game about translation and the cultural exchange it makes possible. It's an adventure puzzle game inspired by the Babel myth where you piece together five different languages with their words and simple grammatical rules from context clues - so if you find a sign post pointing towards a mill with two glyphs, one of them will probably mean "way to" and the other "mill".

The game is ultimately optimistic in tone and the cultures are interesting to learn about - just what I needed these days. Also, the game is part of Steam's current sale. If you're looking for a relaxed puzzle game, give it a try!

I’ve gotten a bit further in #chantsofsennaar, and now the cross-referencing feature is introduced. Even if you don’t exactly know what a word means, you can still identify it’s equivalent in an another language. That said, there are differences. For example, the people/devotees repeat a word for plurals, while the warriors use two different words. The lift/teleporter also allows you to serve as a translator for video calls, and an accurate translation will no doubt open something.

I'm pretty behind on archiving our Future Proof Plays streams, because... *waves hand at 2024*, but we do put them all up on YouTube! Tonight's upload is my stream of the amazing #ChantsOfSennaar:

Gregory's upcoming stream will be Alblune's "The Spirit and the Mouse" on Nov 30: https://futureproofgames.com/streams/

(I'll be working my way through the backlog of stream archivals over the coming days; they'll all go into that playlist.)
