I finally played Chants of Sennaar and it's super fun!

Language puzzles in a fantastical Tower of Babel-esque setting. Since it's an approachable video game, the linguistics never gets super complicated, but they do mix things up enough that it's not just a funny way to write English. Fun story and beautifully colorful visuals too.

Excellent song by #WillHaven, Finest Our, but the title's play on words only works for those who pronounce "our" as [aʊəɹ] rather than [aɹ]. I use the latter even in stressed positions, which my students tell me is weird now, but this album was recorded over 20 years ago, at which time I assume this was not as weird.
