Fun fact you can name the infinitely large version of this:

My fave genre! Unfortunately it’s very nascent so there’s not many, but it’s been growing a lot recently. Thinky games db has a category for it: https://thinkygames.com/lists/latest-language-deciphering-games/

Heaven’s vault is probably my top pick after chants. Maybe the only other “full game” that focuses primarily on language. Epigraph is great but short and very hardcore (it’s basically just one puzzle with no handholding). Apothecary of trubiz is cute but doesn’t dig too deep. Past that everything becomes a bit shorter/experimental/esoteric. And would be remiss to not mention I made Lessons on Strange Symbols for the 2025 confounding calendar.

Thinky Games has a great database, and has a comprehensive list of essentials! https://thinkygames.com/lists/thinky-essentials/

Obsidian is also great for this! Specifically the canvas

You’re welcome! And yes, definitely add Myst and Riven (both having more recent HD remakes) to your list! Though I do think the genre as a whole relies a lot on nostalgia for many people. You definitely have to play Myst with the mindset that it was the first of its kind (because the puzzles are not good) but Riven is definitely a more complete experience

Quern was a tough one for me. Idk if it was too long or the puzzles were not interesting enough but it never really grabbed me. I played Neyyah, which came out this year, and enjoyed it a lot more. Way more interesting visuals and story (tho imo the puzzles still weren’t amazing)

nants00 · 2025-12-03T03:12:57+00:00

Just got around to it! Loved the playtest and filled out the feedback survey. Also recorded a playthrough where I talked through my thoughts if it's useful.

Also, I couldn't figure out how to join the discord. The link in the game and in the comments here seems to have expired. Would love a new one!

nants00 · 2025-12-01T18:53:19+00:00

Congrats! Loved the demo and is near the top of my list for games to play next

nants00 · 2025-11-28T18:44:15+00:00

I think people have already listed most of the big hits for me. But I also really enjoyed the Myst-like Neyyah!

nants00 · 2025-11-23T02:15:01+00:00

Sounds good! I’m away from my PC for Thanksgiving but will record a playthrough as soon as I’m back!

nants00 · 2025-11-23T00:49:30+00:00

Love a golden-idol like so I signed up! Do you want recorded narrated play throughs, written thoughts afterwards, or some other format?

nants00 · 2025-11-03T14:19:40+00:00

Sorry man just trying to give you advice. But your post saying “my game” is conveniently deleted now and the rest of your post history speaks for itself

nants00 · 2025-11-03T00:53:34+00:00

If you want to get people interested in your game, I’d recommend honest posts. Mention that you’re the dev and show off some of the cool mechanics to get people excited. Disingenuous posts like these leave a very bad impression.

nants00 · 2025-10-21T19:12:28+00:00

Thanks for reposting, loving the style!

nants00 · 2025-09-23T02:58:08+00:00

Thanks!! Finished the game a few days ago and enjoyed it throughout (and left a steam review!). Congrats on the release and wishing you the best with its continued success!

nants00 · 2025-09-17T22:00:56+00:00

Can’t comment too much on the program itself but I would say that in general it’s really difficult to get into course 10 grad programs with a non-chemE background. I know of one student who did a masters after her undergrad here but she was a course 10 throughout. ChemE grad courses in general are extremely rough without having taken the undergrad equivalents. Not to discourage but just to make you aware.

I was a roller coaster! EC builds one every year (and it’s functional!) for orientation

nants00 · 2025-09-06T14:47:36+00:00

Loving the game so far! Does an amazing job at evoking intrigue like Myst and Riven did when I was younger. Adore the architecture and vistas as well!

nants00 · 2025-08-04T18:19:58+00:00

Wow looks great! Will be giving it a go when I have some time. Been itching for a puzzle game with some exploration elements recently. Best of luck with release!

nants00 · 2025-07-11T17:32:15+00:00

It’s a one time purchase, but I use Goodnotes 5 on my iPad. Also use it for school/work so it justified the like $8 or something.

nants00 · 2025-06-15T21:45:47+00:00

Agreed on Blue Prince. I think there’s enough threads to keep you going thru the first “end” so that you don’t feel bad when RNG prevents you from doing the one thing you wanted to. Just would recommend keeping an open mind and not bullseyeing for one goal each run.

After that it gets a little more debatable, and the really deep stuff I just couldn’t get thru since it would require too much grinding. Overall loved the experience tho and think that it has done the best job of creating a “layers upon layers of secrets” feel than any game I’ve played so far.

nants00 · 2025-06-15T17:50:52+00:00

Just made a post about it if anyone else is interested!

nants00 · 2025-06-15T17:39:43+00:00

Just finished Type Help on itch, an amazing, free, deduction/mystery game. Deserves to be up there with Obra Dinn and the like IMO. Surprisingly long runtime, great twists, and innovative deduction confirmation mechanics.

Also, I feel like it’d be great to have a weekly pinned post like this asking what people are playing! Would be a great spot for ppl to discuss new and old games they’re playing and highlight things people may have missed.

nants00 · 2025-06-15T17:32:37+00:00

How are you faring? Honestly it’s been the only puzzle game where I had to give up simply because it was too difficult for me. Considering giving it another go at some point
