“My view is more mixed than negative. You might enjoy it, but I found myself kind of dissappointed in some aspects. At first, I was pretty thrilled that the game does not confirm your guess when it comes to word…”
“Was recommended game from Tiktok. Very difficult to figure out words unless look up guide. After guide though was able to understand story. Small word do trick. Good story.”
“As others here said, it's an excellent game at conveying the emotion of not understanding what's going on; unfortunately though, it seems that it's mostly conveyed by the game's limited/poor design, rather than…”

“Such a tragic story. Painful, messy, and beautiful in its own way. Theo’s grief and love for Boyle become something corrupted. ..And this makes the whole thing even more heartbreaking. It’s incredible how few words this…”
“This game is wonderful and has so much replay value. I somehow am made to feel so bad that I can't understand the woman, and I feel sad thinking I don't know what her name is. Simplistic in nature, but incredibly…”

“I think it is a really niche game, you can take your time and keep the words over several play throughs. It is very calm which I like and the story can be defined by yourself although it is somewhat hard to find out the…”
“I don't know if I'm just dumb or not but I had a lot of trouble getting anywhere and the game doesn't really do anything if you are struggling. There really wasn't much to do once I got completely stuck except look up a…”
“DO NOT CHECK THE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME. SPOILERS ARE SPOILED FOR A REASON. It's an amazing concept. I love this game. However, there are so many flaws with it. Please read the review and don't just…”

“Love translation/discovery based games and this one is very cute! You actually have to engage deep with it to understand what's going on and get the endings. I also like that it is repeatable and saves your knowledge…”
“Such a fun an original gameplay concept, trying to figure out what was happening based on context clues was a perfectly balanced challenge. I love that the game doesn't tell you if what you've decided a word means is…”

“I love this game :) The concept is really cool! It's very challenging, but in a good way! There are also fully translated guides if you wish to double check all your meanings!”
“Eh, leaves quite mixed aftertaste. Figuring out the story hits quite hard and trying to figure out meaning of words is challenging and interesting, but gameplay wise it's very short and bland. Story final depends on the…”

“Charming, heart-wrenching story that really should be enjoyed blind. That being said, it helps to know that each symbol corresponds to a letter in English, but only within a specific word. Really enjoyed the romantic,…”

“When my friend first showed me this game, I was REALLY excited, the concept is brilliant. Unfortunately... the UX left me extremely irritated and confused, and I couldn’t get far enough to enjoy it. I’m genuinely…”

“Very interesting game and concept. I wish the game had more polish in certain elements (the ability to replay conversations from memory [since context matters], searching things in the dictionary, etc...) and was…”
“Very interesting concept with an underlying story that I did not completely piece together until the very end. I feel that most people who play this game will miss the final truth without even realizing it. The game is…”

“I loved the idea of this game, and was excited to pick it up. But overall, it disappointed me. Several words are used too infrequently to translate. The grammar is incredibly awkward, leading me to mis-translate or…”
“This game advertises itself as being about learning an unknown language. In fact, it is about cracking a cipher that was used to encrypt English words. The plot and the vibes are interesting, but the puzzle aspect is…”
“It's a cool concept but it's extremely anti-climactic for the amount of work it takes to achieve an ending.”

“I would give this game a tentative positive review. It requires almost no PC specs to run seemingly. The puzzle is mostly straightforward, figure out the words from context clue. Some are easy: one, two, red, blue. Some…”

After that my pattern recognition started cooking and I was doing so much random stuff in game things just started falling into place. The thought of solving the language and being able to understand was really…”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“It's astonishing how this game tells such a good story with so little words. The process of figuring out words is a pretty intesesting concept, although, there are some words like [spoiler] yes [/spoiler] that appear only one or two times with little to no context. Also, i think…”
