One of my favourite games of all time <3

The story is meaningful and full of mystery, and the puzzle game-play requires a bit of thought whilst not being too confusing. I wasn't left guessing words at random and found finding context clues through completing little tasks and observing my surroundings quite rewarding and fun! I also found that the variation in grammar between different groups added a lot more depth to the characters and their respective languages and cultures. After finishing the game, I still want more history into the games story, but that doesn't mean I am at all confused - just intrigued. It's left me wanting to see more of this world!

Although you certainly can brute force words, there are enough of them that learning what they are throughout the game would take less effort than trying to translate them all through trial and error. However, if you do decide that you want to attempt brute forcing a language, unless you have outside context, it will not spoil the story going forward. I accidentally translated something ahead of time by sheer luck whilst fooling around, and was relieved to find that it only aided me a bit as I progressed - I appreciated that.

I didn't realise just how rewarding it would feel to finally be able to understand someone after finishing a translation! Beautiful story, music and game-play. I have zero complaints about this game other than it not being longer!

My favourite series on Steam. I've been playing games from Rusty Lake for years now, starting on my phone. I always get excited when they release a new game!

Definitely needs work. Playing the prologue, I can't get past the tutorial, because it wont let me throw things in the trash. Decorating seems difficult as well, seeing as when I accidentally clicked on a showcase and then deselected it, it continued to show up but in a red outline, that made it impossible for me to select again or place anything over. It has a good base and seems like it will be a great game, but for now it is definitely in need of work.

Kinda great, kinda awesome. Love it. B)

The game was wonderful, until the update. The automated responses make the game not what it used to be. I understand having them optional, for younger people, however having them mandatory is a bit much.

It seems like a cool game, however certain things wouldn't show up for me, like keys. I couldn't progress, and tried restarting my game with no luck. Nonetheless, if it works for you, I suggest playing it!
