What is Chants of Sennaar?

A single-player point-and-click puzzle adventure set in a Babel-inspired tower inhabited by five peoples who cannot understand one another.

What players say

98% of 32,015 reviews are positive · 97% of 740 in the last 30 days

Players praise the satisfaction of inferring glyph meanings, along with the stylized art, music, and setting. Common complaints target forced stealth, slow navigation and backtracking, and traditional puzzles that distract from translation; some players also say the notebook reveals answers too readily.
