Chants of Sennaar

Chants of Sennaar is an adventure with peaceful gameplay, set in a colorful universe reminiscent of ancient Babylon during its heyday. The tower is divided into tiers, and each has its own people with their own customs and orders. The tiers are connected by elevators, and the path to the top opens as locals trust. The world is inhabited by several powerful nations, and once they communicated with each other, but now they understand each other less and less. The hero climbs the tiers of the tower and learns to understand other people's languages. Words are written in a notebook and associated with pictures, so guesses become certainties over time. Each nation has its own symbols, and it is convenient to remember words using them. The mechanics are based on guesswork: the words heard are written down in a notebook, compared with pictures and gradually turn into a real dictionary. Errors are not punished; erroneous versions are simply corrected. In addition to language, you have to deal with devices: elevators, mechanisms and riddles are subject to logic. The notes and drawings on the walls serve as a textbook, and the notebook gradually fills up. Each nation lives by its own rules, and they can be understood through observation and drawings. The ending depends on how completely the language was unraveled. The world is vividly drawn, and the music and sounds support the feeling of traveling through a foreign land. The atmosphere is calm: no one persecutes or punishes for a mistake. For those who like leisurely riddles and beautiful worlds, this tower is suitable. People don't always get along, so the hero has to be a mediator.
