- Chants of Sennaar Part 1 - lots of people recommended me this game, and for great reason. You're placed outside the Tower of Babel and are confronted with a people whose language you don't speak. You must learn their language and utilize it to figure out how to climb higher up the tower.

I am no longer asking. I demand that you watch this video, because I am making this game into a full series, whether you like it or not.
kk
Yes just yes, give me more
You can always demand me to watch puzzle games
Can't believe you liked your own comment.
On it, sir! 🫡
Finally a game I have beaten 100% BEFORE Tyler plays it! No fear of spoilers for me!
Same here lol.
Me too hahaha
same here
same
Yup, same. I'm looking forward to Tyler's confusion as it goes on haha
I think you had to create a fire using the lens in the cave with the preacher as a check to ensure you have the lens, so you can't skip getting it by brute-forcing the graveyard puzzle.
That's true, but there are later puzzles for which there is no similar check. For instance, to leave the next area after the end of this video, you have to find the right combination of bells to ring. And even if you don't brute force, if you are better at figuring out the language than the game expects, you can easily bypass about a quarter of the whole area.
it has indiana jones vibes. he got hardlocked by a lens too.
The check probably exists because it was the tutorial, and they don't want you skipping that.
Beyond that, if you're that good, go for gold. At least, that's what I think.
@@globalincident694 hopefully there's no consequences to skipping those areas, it would seem great to figure out a language before the game lets you decipher it via the book (for example, figuring out some sort of roman numeral system which i assume is present in this game before the game just counts for you or something)
@@notsam2270 There are consequences to skipping those areas, in that you will miss out on information related to the language - although if you're clever enough to skip those areas, you're probably also clever enough to work it out anyway. Beyond that, there aren't really any consequences.
It is possible to figure some things out before the book, but there are some things that are literally impossible without it. In fact, it is sometimes possible (if you don't talk to every character you meet) for the book to prompt you for a word before you actually hear the word spoken.
The starter language uses a lot of syntax tricks to make it easy to pick up. It's cool how each language changes their syntax up.
Is this an actual language or did the devs make their own written language for this game?
@nftoperative9432 I wouldn't be surprised if some symbols were cribbed from real-world writing systems, but all the actual codes were invented by the devs
@@ntfoperative9432I recognize some written languages syntax like cuneiform, and Chinese (simplified).
I personaly love how medicine/potion is basicaly labeled as conteiner for help
This game is an absolute masterpiece. I knew you would love it
I LOVE the editor guy's ability to put in tyler's face on a person during an intro. The unseen also deserves some respect.
and when the red laser points at "that guy over there" 2:28 LOL
tyler excitedly thinking about being called a good boy for opening 2 doors is a mood
some one unlike make this guy have 69 likes
This is a very beautiful puzzle game and I'm glad you're giving it some attention. It's also something pretty untouched in the puzzle community to have these language deciphering type puzzles. Very intriguing and I have to give it a play myself before spoiling it with your videos.
I wish actual language learing apps were built like this, with exemplary usage and continuous reinforcement rather than a single explanation and a single quiz.
@@TlalocTemporalmake it urself and become rich 😮
@@TlalocTemporal I 100% would have done better in my mandatory language classes if I was doing puzzle games to learn it instead of it being force fed to me
Coincidentally I have thought of making a language based game like this (if I ever learn how to use a game engine) before this game even came out. Now I feel like I shouldn't make a game like this because someone already has thought of that idea and made an absolutely amazing game out of the concept :(
@@VoxxeIDon't let that stop you from doing the same.
Now that someone has already done it, maybe it can be a little easier for you to think of how to make yours work?
Tyler I want to thank you for posting these amazing games, I think I downloaded so many from what you played and they are just amazing!
I wasn’t expecting to hear “you are a good boy, you come” but it snapped me back into attention.
Anyway this game is like they took the side mechanics of fez/tunic’s optional language translation and made it into the main focus! Super cool.
I don't have to decipher anything to learn that this is gonna be a great series!
... will be/was great? series
… later up/great picture picture move?
This game reminds me a lot of Heaven's Vault, a space archaeology game where you uncover an ancient civilization and translate their language word by word. You should check it out if you haven't!
I love that Tyler has just started giving his editors little challenges in the videos
I didn't even watch the video yet, but knowing that game I know that this series is gonna be a banger
it is
We all know Tyler is good at solving puzzle games but how good is he at solving real puzzles
Tyler! If you haven’t found the last page for the Devotee language yet, go back to the area with the shops and talk to the guy making pots in the window. When I played through, I couldn’t figure out what I was missing for way too long - it’s an easy interaction to skip.
Very much looking forward to this series!
i’m a huge fan of chants of sennaar so i’m glad to see this series! i love how all of the languages are different and have their own rules. glad it seems that you’re enjoying the game!
As someone who likes conlangs I see this as an absolute win
For the first time ever, I felt like I knew something before Tyler. This game looks brilliant, I'm glad it's gonna be a series
This is one of my favourite games from the last few years. Such a joy to see you play it.
Tyler I found your channel recently and I love your content. I’ve been binging many of your playlists already and I’m hooked. Keep up the good work!
Yesss!! I'm so glad you're finally playing this. I've been playing it myself for a little while and I'm on the fourth language currently. The game has been amazing so far and it does get even more complicated and fun to work out.
I love that there's actually patterns within the characters you can figure out and use to your advantage. That has helped me a ton.
4?
Funnily enough, I got through the entire game without ever considering the patterns and only using context clues.
My memories of this game are weird because I played it (or at least the first two parts) on various international flights, so it's cool to watch Alie Nsrock play it while I have a slightly more normal concept of time.
This was one of the first puzzle games I've played in a long time, it's a great one! Glad to see you're playing it :)
I'm glad I discovered this game and 100%'d it before watching this video. This game is incredible and so much fun! What is really cool is coming back to it to do a second run once you've learned all the languages and being able to just understand all the symbols without making notes.
This concept is actually sick. I’m definitely gonna binge this series.
PLEASE do more of this game - hopefully there’s a lot more and you can do multiple episodes but the puzzling through language is just so fascinating to me
This is one of the best games you’ve shown this year, hopefully you continue and make a series of this.
YES!! Not enough people are playing this game on TH-cam, thank you for this 🎉
fun fact: the thumbnail translate to "devotee seeks god"
god loves men
It's such an interesting gameplay style, so simple yet so amazing, I never knew I'd find it so fun having to try and decipher what each word and sentence is. I'd love seeing more games try out this puzzle style.
I was looking for new games the other week and this one popped up on my radar. So glad you’re playing it. It’s awesome
This seems really cool. I love the thought put into the language design. Presumably the later languages get more complex with modifiers and such?
Not so much with modifier _complexity,_ but the grammar rules (and compound-glyph rules) definitely change between languages. Also, the languages don't always have words for the same concepts (different cultures -> different worldviews/priorities), so sometimes you have to get "creative" when translating sentences from one language to another.
I finished this game in one sitting, took about 6 hours, looking forward to this game from your perspective
Thanks for taking my suggestion :) Love this game!
This is the first time I've had to stop watching a video, before I even got to the half way point- because i'm HOOKED on this game idea, and really didn't want to spoil it for myself without a playthrough.
Thank you for showing this game off.
This game is one of my favorites to come out in quite some time. I wish tunic had some of the mechanics in this game, it would've made it a lot easier and more enjoyable.
(Thumbnail) *gladly.*
Your thumbnail gave me a good chuckle because I’ve just beaten this game myself so I tried to translate what you put on the left then read the right after and did a spit take lmfaoooo.
I love the pacing of your editing! Most other CoS playthroughs have little to no editing so having it be shorter helps with my abysmal attention span
the glyphs on the thumbnail mean "devotee seek/want god" for the curious
This game is amazing! I've been following your content for months and this is the first time I'm commenting! Love the content, keep it up!
you're telling me i must play this game o_o_o_o_o_o okay
Do it

I really wish this game DIDN'T tell you whether or not you had the words correct, and just substituted them in afterward. It would be up to you to constantly guess your own assumptions, and would be more accurate to actual language decoding.
I played this game recently, I absolutely loved it, I’m so glad I’ll be able to watch you play it!
This game is super interesting! Glad a full series is getting made cuz I definitely wanted!
This looks super cool! Looking forward to this becoming a full series
I am so glad I discovered your videos! They are amazing!
I just saw this on Steam a week ago, I'm so glad you're playing it!
This game looks phenomenal and I truely hope you do a complete series on it
Wow! That was great! Found that game recently, and really enjoyed it. Please continue, this game is awesome!
One of the rare times I'm gonna go play the game and come back to the video. Thanks for digging up these gems Tyler!
I loved this video! looking forward for more!
I would LOVE for you to keep playing this. this seems like such a good series.
Watched about five minutes of this before buying the game to play through myself!! I really enjoyed it, now I'm looking forward to watching all your videos on it :D
If real languages were created to be this clear, there would be a whole lot less communication issues. The fact that it all seems to make sense, its all connected, and its logically consistent is pretty incredible. Props to the devs.
The thing is "real" languages don't tend to have easily-identifiable creators in charge of all the rules
You should check out conlangs. They are basically languages made by one person or a small group of people which makes them much more clear on the way they are communicated. I recommend checking out toki pona, which is currently the most popular conlang.
Tbf real languages probably started like this, but natural evolution caused massive divergences, especially as multiple languages mixed together and gave each other words
I'm so hyped for this. I enjoyed NL's sponsored first look but there are no more videos on it so I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the game.
Tyler, I’m on my work lunch so I couldn’t catch the early wave. Love the videos! The videos being 20-30mins fills out my lunch perfectly! Keep up the great work!
Bought and finished this game in less than 24 hours of you uploading this video. Now I can watch the playthrough :)
I’m so excited for the whole series!
Yes please full Series! I'm already hooked.
Watched the first 10 ish seconds of the video, paused and grabbed the demo, really liked it so I bought the full game, 10 hours later i completed the game and now I'm gonna sit back, relax, and watch this video. Thanks for sharing this wonderful game
I have been rewatching your videos since you went on break, and it feels so weird to not see any new videos for this long cus I watch like 90% of your stuff lol. Hope you recover soon :D
Love how he’s good at figuring most stuff out, but he sees a place full of instruments and doesn’t immediately realise the sign is ‘instruments’
I can’t wait for this series to continue, I’m already loving it
This game seems incredibly interesting and i cant wait to watch you try it! I'm already hooked.
I love this game,really looking forward to you playing more
Yess finally you play this. Its probably the editing but watching you play this game is so much better than others i have seen lol, you play lots of puzzle games.
I played the demo and loved it, so to see you play it and enjoy it makes me super happy.
Yeees let's go I love this kind of games love watching your videos man I've watched close to every single video you've made and it has been fun
Omg this was so interesting to watch please keep going
I am constantly at a loss when it comes to your content, @Aliensrock. See the problem here is I fucking LOVE puzzle games, I don't want any spoilers, but I also want to support your channel. Take my upvote, and I'll return to watch this video after I beat the game!
for some reason i love the kinds of game where you have to learn a language i dont know but i love it for some reason so please do a full series
Bought the game after watching the first 10 miutes, finished it in two days I liked it so much, and now we're back to watch your run!
This is super cool. I would love to see more games with language and decoding systems like this.
how tf have I missed this, there are literally multiple videos in the past month. tbf, I don't go specifically to your channel and check out if theres new videos, it just comes into recommended from my subbed channels and I watch most of your videos on a weekly basis
This is such an amazing game! Loved seeing you solve it
I absolutely adore this game, I took Chinese for three years and loved you you could usually combine characters to make a new one. It really does have a great way of teaching you a language.
Yesss I was hoping you'd play this!
I'm glad you decided to play this. I could only get through the first bit of Northernlion's video before I was screaming at my screen
Watched a single minute. Bought it. Beat it in 9hrs of play time. Loved it and am now finishing the video.
This game looks awesome and unique. Really interested in a full series on it.
never heard of this cool game, glad ya doing a series on it cuz it looks interesting.
Amazing! Hyped for more!
THIS IS SOOOO GOOD WE *NEED* MORE OF THIS
9:56 I love the editing for this bit. It adds to the "I got owned"-ness of the situation in a hilarious way.
probably the only puzzle game that i've fully completed before you played it, this game is amazing! i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
YEAHHHH I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! So excited for part 2!!
I am SO EXCITED to see this series
Ooh I saw a spoiler free review on this game! It looks so cool and the language mechanic seems easy to understand!
This video is very intriguing, I like trying to figure it out before he does. I like this game quite a bit more than some of the other games this week!
Oh this game is facinating, I love that it lets you guess at meanign and then recontextualizes and fully defines once you've learned more
As a person fluent in devotee, this video is a blast to watch!
Or as Tyler will put it: [you] [tower] [go/come] [me].
Went into this gamne as soon as I saw the video, beat it in one sitting, forgot to eat, drink and sleep until i did that, me and my friends are HARDCORE fans now. Every detail is in harmony with each other - even the glyph style and the way people build sentences reflect their culture SO good omg were gushing and its so far past midnight and we cant stop talking about how good this game is
I've never actually bought a game and completed it BEFORE I finish watching the series. This game is amazing, please god please continue the series lmao
Sweet game! Definitely looking forward to more!
I couldn't find a good commentary lets play of this until now! :D
we adore this game and we're super excited to see you play it!!
Oh man you're gonna love this. The ultimate puzzle is a work of art.
I have been waiting for you to play this game! As sone as I played it I knew you would like it
Tyler, you are my absolute favorite youtuber! I love watching your new videos every day! I can't wait for more bunburrows when it updates!
Yes, I hoped you would play this. This became one of my fav puzzle games.
