Discover the creative vision behind the linguistic odyssey

In this new video, the founders of Rundisc, the studio behind Chants of Sennaar, present the game and let us in on their philosophy and inspirations.

Based on the myth of Babel, Chants of Sennaar takes players on an enthralling journey, discovering a foreign site where five Peoples live divided, each speaking one of five different languages. Looking to reunite them, players will solve the puzzles of a fascinating world where ancient languages are both the lock and the key.

Exploring the city, getting to know and understand its inhabitants, using stealth and cunning to outwit the Guardians, the hero is an interpreter, a diplomat, a person using knowledge and wisdom to resolve conflicts rather than force. As such, Chants of Sennaar is an invitation to openness and tolerance.

The beautiful and delicate setting of the game mixes various artistic inspirations, starting with European comic artists from the 70s and 80s, such as Moebius, and spreading to a miscellany of building styles, from Brutalist to Mooresque and Indian architecture.

Embark on a captivating and poetic journey when Chants of Sennaar launches on September 5. Wishlist now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam and Epic Games Store.
