I do not have a lot of experience with these point and click style adventure games. In fact this might be the first one I have ever played, and for that, its quite good. First things first, the world is amazing, gorgeous in setting, sound, and world building. The idea of having multiple languages of people all living in close proximity, and us being an outsider trying to decipher said languages from context clues makes for a fantastic puzzle concept; and the execution of such here is simply superb. Having a book filled with visual representations and translations from the other languages in the game, combined with a chart of glyphs to reference back to works well. I never felt too stuck, or as if any answer was too obscure of weird for me too reasonably figure out on my own. If anything, the world can be a little annoying to traverse if you forget something on the other side of the map, and the over arching story does fumble in my opinion near the end. But this is still a great title, and definitely one worth of play if this is the sort of thing that interests you.
