    Yeah, reminds me a bit of Fez. If we need to decipher the language, it would most probably be just substitution cipher on English, otherwise the game might become too complex, unless we just have to decipher a limited set of words.

      Well, the way Tunic works is that you don’t really decipher the language on your own to straight up read the characters, you work with pictures and other visual/environmental cues to figure out what it’s telling you. It would be akin to going to an Asian country that doesn’t use the Roman alphabet without any knowledge of the language and having to navigate things by pictures or trial-and-error until you start to pick things up on your own. You don’t decipher the words themselves, you pick up on the context, if that makes sense. It really was a large part of the fun of Tunic.
