Chants of Sennaar

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.
