Description

Winner of Best Indie Game at the 2024 New York Game Awards and nominated multiple times at other ceremonies including The Game Awards and the BAFTA, Chants of Sennaar is a critically-acclaimed puzzle and adventure game developed by Rundisc.

Divided since the dawn of time, the Peoples of the Tower no longer speak to each other, isolated by fear or mistrust. It is said that one day, a Traveler will find the wisdom to break down the walls and restore the balance. Travel the endless steps of a prodigious labyrinth, uncover the truth and unveil the mysteries of this fascinating universe where ancient languages are both the lock and the key.

Inspired by the myth of Babel, discover an enigmatic and vast tower. As the Traveler, delve into a world full of mysteries, where Peoples have grown distant, unable to communicate with each other anymore. Begin your adventure in a prodigious tower inhabited by five distinct Peoples, observe, listen, and strive to mend the bonds of distrust.

With a smart gameplay system, explore and solve various puzzles to uncover the mysteries of five different interconnected languages. Always guided by your trusty notebook, note each symbol, keep track of your surroundings, engage in conversations with people and unravel the meaning of every glyph. Each step will pave your way to the top of the Tower as each word will restore the link between People.

Dive into an enthralling and colorful world full of secrets. Tumble headlong into a beautiful world inspired by impactful European comics authors where every floor of the Tower possesses its own visual identity, supported by distinctive technological levels, architecture and culture. Embark on a poetic and enchanting journey driven by a soul-stirring, lyrical soundtrack, made by Thomas Brunet.

Short but sweet. Very well designed gameplay, cool art style, great music. I really enjoyed doing all of the translations and building the links. The puzzles aren't too hard most of the time and walk a good line between

Pretty fun and unique puzzle game. The controls can be a little clunky at times, and in my opinion the translations are fairly trivial. Most of the difficulty I encountered was simply navigating through the world with

An extremely niche game. Well-made, nice graphics and UI. 5 languages to decipher. Myriad landscapes and settings. Extremely enjoyable. The ending section is a bit needlessly stretched-out, in my opinion.

Basically a perfect, intriguing, lore-deep puzzle game. Borrows some of the Lucas Pope deduction method. The music, atmosphere, and short dialogues are wonderful. Only disappointing thing was that there was no explicit
