"Calm puzzle game"
The language building, including needing to know different grammar, is just challenging enough to make you think. The story keeps you going and allows for multiple endings. The soundtrack is a calming background.

The game has you working your way up a tower figuring out the languages of the people who live at different levels. Along the way you help different people, unravel the mysteries of the tower, and use the language you learn to solve puzzles. Good fun, fantastic storytelling through changes in environment.
Great game that gets you to think about language and communication in general. The in game journal is a fantastic help in keeping track of your translations as you go through the game. Throwing out wild guesses for what a symbol could mean was good fun. It's "use your words!" the game. In an age of isolation where we would often desire to isolate ourselves I think the message of Chants of Sennaar is timely. As for cons, there were a couple of instances where I couldn't find puzzle elements to interact with them. There wasn't a great way to figure out where these elements are without wandering around (and the in game indicator for one of these was a bit misleading.) So I did end up looking up a guide to figure out where these two things were. The developers have a hints thread in the Steam discussion which helped me out for one of these.
