[@wymarsane7305]

I like how every language is not just a different lexicon, but also its own grammar and script quirks.

[@aynonymos]

Yeah bard language is going to be funny. I don't think Tyler is going to handle the grammar very well.

[@boyo7918]

@@aynonymos It takes a minute but the grammar is basically just changing SVO to OSV and a couple punctuation quirks. Honestly the bards layer got my hopes up for more interesting languages later but then it was right back to just being "match the vocabulary". I still really enjoyed the game but was a little disappointed in that regard.

[@ghasttastic1912]

@@boyo7918 well the alchemists had numbers so

[@boyo7918]

@@ghasttastic1912 Yeah true figuring out the number system was pretty cool

[@BiggieBows1752]

@@boyo7918 True, though it does make a lot of sense why they didn't. The Alchemist's section was slightly less on language and more traditional puzzle solving and the Exiled's section was very lore heavy. Adding another sentence structure would have just muddied those. But honestly, stretching the segments out to allow for new structure would be worth it. Imagine if the Alchemists get rid of unnecessary words for efficiency and the Exiles are missing a core concept we have, like individuality as they see everyone as part of the same over-being leading to "I" and "You" being missing?

[@gengarxe1318]

I just realized they get their words from constellations. That’s why each word is made of sharp lines. It’s the lines draw between stars

[@Foxy_Fan1200]

I like your profile picture!

They also dont have personal pronouns at all, which would make sense for a militaristic culture that doesnt care about individuality

There's another game a lot like this called Heavens Vault. It's story driven with lots of narration in regular language. You are an archeologist in a future nebula that travels between moons and ruins via a cosmic river that you navigate on. You find tons of lost history and slowly decipher the language. Very Treasure Planet esque, with less monsters and more robots.

[@Green24152]

wanderbots (specifically chelle) actually did a playthrough of heaven's vault difference here is that there's confirmation of words

[@felinah2559]

@@Green24152 currently playing heavens vault, there is confirmation of words, tough I dont know about the requirements to confirm/throw out a meaning. Did that maybe just got added later?

[@AstroHog]

The words do get confirmed. You just have to find the same word several times and have it make sense (then it gets checked off and can't be changed) instead of having it given to you after having all the correct words on a page. The real difference is heavens gate giving you 4 likely words to choose from and no picture where this game gives you a picture or action with no multiple choice. Heavens gate also gives you some hints by talking to Huang and he'll make comments while also telling you about incorrect interpretations you've made for words. Both games do it well

[@KinuTheDragon]

Might I also mention Sethian? Your character writes in a journal things that you've learned and you converse with an alien computer.

[@CarrierOfChaos617]

another suggestion i have is Tunic, it's a more souls/zeldalike with combat and stuff but there's a whole in-game manual with a different writing system! i may have spent at least a few months obsessing and writing in that system lol

[@kellerextraforkids11]

Next episode: Tyler learns Mandarin on stream for 12 hours by watching movies and treating subtitles like puzzles.

[@MEW-hn2dn]

Tyler missing the one portal and not finishing either language is killing me D: i hope he does go back and do those cause its pretty important for endgame stuff

[@sameez8701]

Back at it again, the first part of this game was amazing, so happy another episode came out so soon!

[@bogbog1119]

I agree !This game is so cool!

[@richardtokarcik2218]

Dont forget to finish the scrap book. Youll need the translations for the fast travel dialogues. Also the new area was the hardest for me

[@nandanthony]

I think all players missed that one page in the Fortress because they didnt click on the Symbols in the Torch light Area after placing the torch down.

[@deeznoots6241]

@@nandanthonyI clicked on all the symbols… and had to end up backtracking to grab the torch since I somehow missed on my first exploration of that area lmao

[@ASmidgeOfPidge]

Watching Tyler get so close yet so far to a lot of these translations is really infuriating (and also really fun to watch).

[@aynonymos]

Yeah especially when he has misunderstandings with the easiest words but quickly figured out the words I was stumped on lol

[@fedos]

I have the double frustration of him struggling on words I got right away while intuitively getting the ones that I struggled with.

[@baconeko]

This game is absolutely amazing, first time I’ve watched a Tyler video and immediately bought the game afterwards to play it myself xD Enjoying it as much as you are!

[@deathdoge0]

I just finished playing through this game after watching you play the first level of the tower. I’m so excited to see this play through!

[@DinoDragon6]

Everything here was phenomenal... from the game, to tyler's charm and personality, to the editing... 10/10 video, thoroughly enjoied it.

[@Charcoal190]

I appreciate how the editors always add in notes in case someone watches a video in a series without having seen the previous ones!

[@DeluxeEgg3000]

“That’s something an idiot would put on his luggage.” I LOVE THE SPACEBALLS REFERENCE!

[@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766]

15:10 I was so confused about the torch, I actually had to look up a walkthrough to find out it could pick it up

[@boyo7918]

Lmao same. I ended up getting the bellman's glyphs by matching the glyph to what object it looked like (which is basically what they are) and was left confused when I got to the next layer with a whole area unsolved and a third of the glyphs unverified.

[@deeznoots6241]

So true, I was wandering for an hour before noticing the torch lmao

[@slyfox6996]

I watched the first video and played the whole game in one sitting immediately after, full 100%. As a language geek I had to, and the puzzles were so good. It's probably already complete by now but the bards language reallllly gave me a run for my money at first due to the sentence structure.

if you like this kind of language mechanic, you should check out "Heaven's Vault". only has one language but it is much more rewarding.

You know a series from Tyler is gonna be good when the first video alone got you to buy and 100% the game, and you're still excited for the next episode

[@stevewalker9870]

I'm very glad I didn't watch him play through this and instead finished the game blind myself. Its so much fun to watch someone else struggle in different ways I had not or succeed where I did not.

[@peacefulhoovy1999]

So glad you're playing this game. I absolutely loved it. Its nice to see how other people figure out the words and what their guesses are like.

I played this game after your last episode and it’s so DAMN GOOD. I hope they make a DLC with more languages or expanding on the current languages, or with more translation sections at some point.

[@hashtagNight]

this series of videos inspired me to play the game and i may or may not have finished it in almost one sitting

[@AxolotlForever]

this game is genius such a good concept i love when you get to learn a new language and get to know what all of the people were saying before!

[@DarkMarkison]

This game is completely new to me and I have to say that this video series has been one of my favorites of yours to watch. Love your videos Tyler!

[@Mr-_-Robot]

I really like this little cinematic stealth montage. Very original and smooth

[@Themoonisachees]

i finished it since the last episode came out. fantastic game with a fantastic and very satisfying ending. of course it's painful seeing you miss the things i've found but i'll give you that i didn't find the torch to decipher boat/key/balance (instrument is trivial) until after i had brute-forced it on the bells. I assume you're recording all of these in a row and you're alreeady done with the game but on the offchance not: good luck, the next area is the hardest.

[@alexlowe2054]

The editing during the stealth sections was great.

[@xenoalvis7866]

Picked up this game after seeing the last video and 100%ed it in a weekend. It's a blast! The later sections feel especially rewarding imo

[@draradech]

Looking forward to the next part. I struggeled soo much with their language, will be interesting so see how you managed.

[@deeznoots6241]

I’m surprised how long it took him to realise the character meant plural, I got it instantly while struggling with most of the other puzzles

[@JordanBl]

I have played this entire game, I vaguely remember what the words mean. But I'm gonna watch this entire series anyway, because I like to see the thought process behind things. Your videos will be good for that, since you tend to vocalise your thoughts pretty well and consistently.

[@_Bumby_]

This puzzle game has lore and I am all for it

[@suz5191]

I played this game a few weeks ago with my brother and absolutely loved it. Watching someone play it for the first time after having finished it is super fun in it's own way too huhu

I really hope this game will do well on the channel! I already finished it and I would really love to see Tyler's playthrough in full!

[@ngchloe9314]

DW Tyler already said in the first video comments that he'd do a play through of the whole thing even if it didn't do well, you're good

[@nhuthuynhminh2603]

The editing really makes this a more enjoyable experience 👍

[@bluerendar2194]

It's really nice to see what I missed! I figured out a lot of these from context but didn't unlock the book entries for them.

[@bluerendar2194]

I had a ton of trouble specifically with translating between the warriors and researchers since it took forever to find the warrior glyph for scientist in a different context. Was the last one I translated.

[@AlanMalloy]

As always, the editors do an amazing job here. I played through the game after your first video was released, and while I liked the game I had some issues with it. The editors fixed them all, by trimming the boring and/or frustrating stealth/backtracking portions, and actually highlighting the player character on entry to a room when it's otherwise unclear where you are.

[@LucaDornseifer]

For anyone wondering the thumbnail translates to "Impure duties". (The "plural" is sideways for some reason)

[@loganmunier9798]

Actually, since the plural is in front of 'impure', I think it's 'impures' duty' as in 'the duty of the impure ones' which is a really concerning phrase.

[@piotr78]

​@@loganmunier9798but it isn't in front of impure

[@kburkett1231]

because of you i started playing this!! it’s so fun but takes A LOT of thinking. i’m excited to watch you work through the next level after this. i ended up needing the walkthrough to figure it out

[@dewhi100]

kudos to editors for making the stealth section bearable

[@CrzzyCat]

Hell yeah, i was waiting for the part two!!! Always excited to see new videos.

[@FTM1104]

This reminds me a lot of Tunic, or at least the language part of it. I would love to see Tyler play that sometime!

[@Sopsy_Hallow]

from playing the demo it seemed like those fast travel points have some more stuff in its UI, like a puzzle in one of the tabs, idk if you've seen it or just missed it, but i think they migh do more than purely fast travel

[@FlameLord050]

Loving this series so much after the first episode I bought the game for myself and beat it. Looking forward to the rest of your playthrough.

[@slowbrofriend6526]

THANK YOU TYLER, THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME!

[@argolake8623]

I like how carry and lay are almost mirror images, but since carry has the vertical line, they can’t be confused for each other, like if a warrior were dyslexic. Also, notice that their locations - library, fortress - are triangles. Arrive, as a verb, has the angle on the bottom, but being an upside down triangle, it suggests a relation to location.

[@anpruch]

Thank you very much for playing the game! You have great language Intuition. I've seen a lot of walkthroughs and people just miss so much, because their brain processes languages differently. Also, as a linguist, I absolutely adore you for recognizing vocabulary patterns (the shape of verbs and personal nnames. I hope tho, you'll return to previous floors and complete all the vocabularies. GL!

[@dinojack5567]

TRANSLATIONS BELOW, READ AFTER WATCHING WHOLE VID Most of these Tyler figures out, I'm just reciting it so you can rewatch it while understanding it all -At the start the banners say 'Duty' and the big symbol which Tyler thought was 'protect' is probably 'wall' -The comm panel at 2:30 says "You impures cannot go; you impures do not create instruments" -Statue at 3:40-4:30: side 1 is "warriors push (out) impures", side 2 is "warriors protect chosen" and side 3 is "warriors carry (out their) duty" -Box scene at 6:00 is simply "carry big crate, carry small crate, warrior push trolley" etc -Dudes at 10:55 says "warriors wait ___(?) chosen (plural), impures await death" and "bellman awaits bottle" LOL -Thats really it SPECULATION! Tyler is missing 3 symbols, "protect/wall" is one, another is the upside-down triangle on the sword at 10:15 (Tyler guessed only/long/arrive) and the last is the seal on the paper in the observatory at 11:35 (Tyler guessed science/knowledge). The empty notebook page has a treasure chest, a big wall and a guy shouting. The building is 'protect/wall' 100% (fortress? barrier??), the sword symbol could be the guy shouting (call for? sing???) and I guess the stamp on the paper could be the treasure chest? That one doesn't make much sense...

[@comfybox]

[@holyhandgrenade5]

This series rocks. I hope later on that you have to use the shapes of the words a bit more, it was needed some in the first area but it was only something you noticed afterwards in this level. That’s something I enjoy about constricted languages.

[@Living_druid0911]

Yesss, loving this game. I wonder how long this series will be?

[@MrBlinky10101]

At the pace Tyler is playing, 3-5 more videos is my guess. It's not that long of a game

[@lutrinae_yt]

I personally beat it (still missing one achievement) in just under 12hrs, but I’ve been playing real slow

[@TwksqR]

Probably 3 more videos considering that the game has 5 'chapters', and Tyler seems to be playing 1 chapter per video. The game's not that long anyway, I finished the game myself with 8 hours of playtime
