I wrote my impressions after completing “Chants of Sennaar,” an adventure where you progress while deciphering languages. It was a very hard game.
What kind of game?
It’s an adventure game where you try to decipher a language that starts off as gibberish and relies on hints. You can experience the feeling of being able to communicate little by little in a foreign land where you don’t understand the language at all.
For example, if there is a sign like this near the lever that opens and closes the door, you will think about whether it will close when opened. This kind of language deciphering is the real pleasure of this work.
It’s hard to tell at first glance, but the visuals and sounds are really great. The camera angles are all cool.
The quality of the so-called mystery-solving parts is also very high, and the content is enjoyable enough even without language deciphering.
There are some action scenes here and there, but the difficulty level is such that you don’t have to rush, and I liked that you could retry immediately if you failed.
Is it difficult to decipher?
Language decoding was a lot of fun at first
It was difficult because a new language appeared each time the stage progressed.
It’s an important element related to the identity of this work and the story, but it’s a heavy load, so it might have been better to have less of it.
I get stuck if I don’t understand
This work is completely boring if you don’t understand the puzzles. This was the hardest game I’ve played recently.
Especially when it comes to solving riddles that involve arranging letters, it’s no good if the order is wrong, and it’s no good if even one is wrong. I wanted it to be as kind as if it would at least light up if there was a correct answer among the letters I entered.
As a result of trying to see the true ending, I ended up relying on strategy sites. I’m disappointed that I didn’t do it on my own, but it was a wonderful story.
I couldn’t afford it for a long time because it didn’t get much discount even on sale, but when I played with it, I was satisfied with the quality. It’s a wonderful game that has been thought out from top to bottom. If you are interested, please give it a try!
