Played Chants of Sennaar at the weekend and I think it's one of my favourite games of the year so far. Gameplay is like Duolingo meets Obra Dinn where you have to learn whole-ass languages from context clues to progress through a Tower of Babel story. When things click into place, you feel like a certified brain-genius. Ace stuff! store.steampowered.com/app/193…

ooh, this sounds like my sort of thing. There's a text-based game called the Gostak which has what sounds like a similar premise, and is fantastic
