Chants of Sennaar is a puzzle adventure set in a tower inspired by the myth of Babel. Its Peoples have become isolated by fear and mistrust, and you play as a Traveler seeking to restore their connections. The central mystery is linguistic: communication has broken down, and understanding the tower’s inhabitants is part of finding a way forward.
Progress depends on attentive observation and interpretation rather than simply moving through a labyrinth. You keep a notebook of symbols, track details in your surroundings, speak with people and work out the meanings of glyphs. Those discoveries feed into puzzles involving five interconnected languages, making translation both a practical tool and the means to uncover the tower’s larger mysteries.
The setting gives that language work a strong visual and cultural context. The tower’s floors have distinct identities shaped by their architecture, culture and technological levels, while a lyrical soundtrack accompanies the journey.
