Chants of Sennaar is a 2023 adventure video game developed by Rundisc and published by Focus Entertainment.

The gameplay mostly involves solving puzzles and minigames which generally require decoding and understanding the fictional languages of the tower.

The player explores a structure inspired by the Tower of Babel – which the titular Sennaar refers to – full of people who speak fictional languages, represented by logographic writing systems.

Through exploring the mysterious structure, they find that every level is home to a distinct caste of people with their own culture and language.

The Devotees are blocked by the imposing Warriors, who have a sworn duty to drive away those they consider "impure", while awaiting a message from the revered Bards on the level above.

The protagonist is able to elude the monster and find the Alchemists, a group of miners and scientists conducting esoteric research.

Beyond the gate, the protagonist finds the technologically advanced Anchorites, who wear virtual reality headsets at all times, shutting themselves away from the rest of the tower which they consider doomed.

Others then arrived and populated the lower levels, but would not communicate due to fear and misunderstanding, thus forming the castes.

The altar lights up and displays a series of glyphs, representing the ideals of each caste (God, Duty, Beauty, Transformation, Exile) as fundamentally similar.

Chants of Sennaar was developed by a two-man team, Julien Moya and Thomas Panuel, along with three freelance programmers.

[15] Digital Trends praised what they felt were "ingenious puzzles", "thoughtfully built languages", an "engrossing setting", and "striking art style".

[8] Commenting on its lack of pleasurable hooks, Slant Magazine described Chants of Sennaar as "an interesting and impressive game that ultimately feels more than a bit academic".
