Comment on Chants of Sennaar, a puzzle game where you decipher an alien language (Demo available)
shneancy@lemmy.world 1 week agoi knew what it was before clicking, and i have to say - as someone who thought that game would be perfect for me i was very disappointed
in the interest of not wanting to influence people’s opinions by being the only and negative comment i’ll spoiler my criticism, i still encourage folks to try it, and you can always refund it

disappointed mostly by how janky it felt and how unintuitive a lot of the UI was. NPCs would speak too fast, give no time to pick the choice you want, in conversation other npcs approach you and start talking, my hand was held constantly, i got so many bugs and just, it felt like a pre-release build of a game i’d love if it was fixed, but no that was it- i don’t refund a lot of games but i came in expecting a great experience and the entire time i felt deep frustration

huh, that’s a shame. didn’t match my experience at all. my main gripe was with the traveling, but then i went back in a year later and saw that they added a skip button to it.

i’m glad you enjoyed it!
i did finally get my fix of archaeology and linguistics, but separately
Chants of Sennaar & Outer Wilds (best bloody game ever btw, one of those once in a generation marvels that make people beg for amnesia so they can experience it for the first time again. if you want to play it don’t look it up you gotta trust me on that. unfortunately, the release was overshadowed by Outer Worlds that released very soon after and had the Obsidian RPG behind it 🙃)
