I saw a game mentioned in a youtube video about translating languages and I can't find it again. It was a 2d platformer starring a female protagonist and I think she was investigating ruins in her town? Does that ring a bell for anyone?

Chants of Sennaar?

Good guess but nope. This one was an even more indie project.

I'd love to know whenever you find it, language puzzles have been occupying a special place in my heart 💕

Someone found it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/589100/The_Moonstone_Equation/

Nice!! And it looks so cute too

I’ll try and recreate my youtube steps again to find it. Did you play Epigraph? I tried it on @thinkygames.com recommendation but it was too tough for me. Seems great for those bolder than I though.

I haven't but thanks for the rec!

Reaching into the very obscure - I remember a game called The Moonstone Equation that seems to fit the bill?

videospacegames.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's it! Thank you so much!

Hurray! Well done @chaotickex.bsky.social!

chaotickex.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cheers! There's so many games out there, thinking of the right one can be a half-decent puzzle in its own right.

videospacegames.bsky.social•5 days ago

No kidding. I can tell you that all the algorithms I tried to find it failed me entirely.

Oh yes, good suggestion - I forgot about this one!

Could it be The Land Forgotten?

No, this game is already out. Thank you though! You can see why it's driving me batty trying to remember it. I'd only heard it mentioned once and it wasn't on my radar at all prior to that.

Do you remember at all what the art style was like? Might jog some memories. We have the whole Thinky Games team trying to figure out what game you're talking about, haha.

videospacegames.bsky.social•5 days ago

lol; I should have expected that. Sorry! It was pixelart I believe. The only comment I remember about it in the video was that it was a bit rough around the edges but deciphering the language was a lot of fun.

Is it 7 Days to End with You?

any chance it was this?

videospacegames.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh hmm.... MAYBE? I can't say for certain now. I seem to remember it looking much more lo-fi and there being a language written on the walls all over. But this looks interesting regardless, thank you!

Probably Heaven's Vault, but it's not a platformer. IMO Inkle's best game.

videospacegames.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s not that, but thank you. I still need to play through that

Void Stranger was my easy 2023 GOTY, glad to see it repped here. EX mode last year was a lovely way to dive back in and be completely stymied by them pushing the puzzles to the breaking point.
