I loved this game, I knew I would the moment I heard the premise of being flung into unknown cultures with unknown languages, unlocking the secrets of the different people through learning their languages.
However, the way the verification system provides canonical translations felt like it stifled creativity and turned the task of learning languages more into decoding multiple ciphers of the same language. By simply providing verifications in the form of a checkmark rather than a canonical translation I feel this game could've been one of my all time favourites. As it stands, it's just REALLY GOOD instead.
