Looking over the list of articles on this site I realized that I forgot to write this one up! Steam says I last played a month ago, so I will just give my brief thoughts.
This is a puzzle game where you are essentially climbing up the Tower of Babel which each floor containing a different language and class of people. The puzzle is that you need to decipher what the words mean through context clues and a helpful error checking notebook. I haven't played Obra Dinn, but I think this notebook works similarly to that one where it will tell you if you have a group of guesses correct but won't tell you about a singular guess.
Anyway! I was slightly skeptical of this game from the front end but the process of deciphering the languages was extremely fun and interesting. I played with my wife on the couch and there were instances where one of us would see the answer so clearly and the other would be entirely lost. Very fun experience!
I had a great time playing this game as kind of couch coop and I think it would be an easy recommendation from me. The gamepad controls were a bit weird but once I got used to them it wasn't bad, just something to note. Maybe play mouse and keyboard?
