I don’t know if this is a good community to post to, but it’s a cool game and i want to share it somewhere.

I think i heard about this game in a conlang group. I recently played the demo, and it was amazing. The game’s idea is pretty novel too. You decipher a logographic language based on context and clues, and you have to manually decipher the words meaning, too; so you could translate it wrong. in the “ME ME TOWER GO PRAISE” box, i’m not sure if the PRAISE hieroglyph is actually correct. I love linguistics, and to see a game made around it is awesome.

A devotee saying "ME ME TOWER GO PRAISE" The guard's have their own language!

    I loved this game. Puzzles that I felt I needed to understand the plot and culture to solve, made the world so much more alive.
