About this game
Read unfamiliar writing, talk to inhabitants and compare what they say with the situations around them. Your notebook assists the translation of glyphs, while deciphering language lets you solve puzzles and continue exploring the tower. Other floors introduce different languages, each with its own grammar and syntax. The journey aims to restore communication between the tower's peoples, and some forbidden areas require stealth to evade guards.

A language mystery for players who enjoy building understanding from context.

Strengths
- Contextual clues can make interpreting a word feel connected to understanding a situation.
- Different grammar and syntax offer new material for players who enjoy linguistic comparison.
Weaknesses
- Guard evasion may be an unwelcome change of task for players interested solely in language deduction.
Who it is for: Players who like comparing clues, questioning word meanings and working through unfamiliar language structures.
Play notes: Some forbidden areas require stealth, so language decoding is not the only activity.
