I don’t know if this is a good community to post to, but it’s a cool game and i want to share it somewhere.

I think i heard about this game in a conlang group. I recently played the demo, and it was amazing. The game’s idea is pretty novel too. You decipher a logographic language based on context and clues, and you have to manually decipher the words meaning, too; so you could translate it wrong. in the “ME ME TOWER GO PRAISE” box, i’m not sure if the PRAISE hieroglyph is actually correct. I love linguistics, and to see a game made around it is awesome.

A devotee saying "ME ME TOWER GO PRAISE" The guard's have their own language!

    Oh yeqh, loved COT. My only suggested change was that there could’ve been even more differences betweeen languages. At first i thought the warriors were basing their labguage around their anger. Where the other races all have a “i love”, i thought it would be a neat touch if the warriors only had a word for “i hate” and had to negate if they liled something
