Dive into a World Inspired by the Myth of Babel, Deciphering Ancient Languages and Unraveling Tower Secrets
PlayStation recently unveiled the gameplay overview trailer for “Chants of Sennaar”, a game that promises to transport players into a universe inspired by the myth of Babel. Set in an enigmatic city housing a vast and mythical tower, players observe, listen, and decipher ancient languages. The aim? To restore the links between various peoples who have been divided since time immemorial.
As players navigate this world, they’ll be guided by a notebook, helping them translate each glyph they encounter. This is achieved through observation, exploration, and engaging in conversations with the city’s inhabitants. Deductive reasoning is crucial as players work their way to the top of the tower, solving enigmas, playing mini-games, sneaking past guards, and dodging a myriad of traps.
Terminals play a pivotal role in the journey. These ancient relics, which only the player can interpret, offer teleportation capabilities throughout the labyrinthine tower. As players progress, they’ll discover new glyphs, pushing them further in their quest to bridge the communication gap between the tower’s inhabitants.
Its focus on real languages makes “Chants of Sennaar” genuinely unique. Each dialect in the game boasts its own rhythm, grammar, and syntax, offering a compelling and fulfilling gameplay experience. As players delve deeper, they’ll uncover the rich stories of each people, from their folklore and culture to their architectural styles and technologies.
The game’s visuals are inspired by European comic masterpieces, and its soul-stirring, lyrical soundtrack promises an enchanting audio-visual journey. “Chants of Sennaar” is not just a game; it’s an invitation to openness and diversity, with a plethora of mysteries waiting to be unveiled.
“Chants of Sennaar” is set to release on September 5th for PlayStation 4.
