    I think you had to create a fire using the lens in the cave with the preacher as a check to ensure you have the lens, so you can't skip getting it by brute-forcing the graveyard puzzle.

    • @globalincident694
      @globalincident694 Год назад +127

      That's true, but there are later puzzles for which there is no similar check. For instance, to leave the next area after the end of this video, you have to find the right combination of bells to ring. And even if you don't brute force, if you are better at figuring out the language than the game expects, you can easily bypass about a quarter of the whole area.

      @8knights841 Год назад +76

      The check probably exists because it was the tutorial, and they don't want you skipping that.
      Beyond that, if you're that good, go for gold. At least, that's what I think.

      @@globalincident694 hopefully there's no consequences to skipping those areas, it would seem great to figure out a language before the game lets you decipher it via the book (for example, figuring out some sort of roman numeral system which i assume is present in this game before the game just counts for you or something)

    • @globalincident694
      @globalincident694 Год назад +40

      @@notsam2270 There are consequences to skipping those areas, in that you will miss out on information related to the language - although if you're clever enough to skip those areas, you're probably also clever enough to work it out anyway. Beyond that, there aren't really any consequences.
      It is possible to figure some things out before the book, but there are some things that are literally impossible without it. In fact, it is sometimes possible (if you don't talk to every character you meet) for the book to prompt you for a word before you actually hear the word spoken.

      @HaloInverse Год назад +11

      Not so much with modifier _complexity,_ but the grammar rules (and compound-glyph rules) definitely change between languages. Also, the languages don't always have words for the same concepts (different cultures -> different worldviews/priorities), so sometimes you have to get "creative" when translating sentences from one language to another.

    I would absolutely love to play a game like this where you start from English and have to translate to another language with similar ancestory, lets say Spanish or German and then you have to translate that into something with a different script like Russian, Hindi or Arabic and then translate it again into another, more difficult language script such as Japanese or Chinese. It would just be fun to learn and explore new languages in this way.

    I have been rewatching your videos since you went on break, and it feels so weird to not see any new videos for this long cus I watch like 90% of your stuff lol. Hope you recover soon :D

    This game seems incredibly interesting and i cant wait to watch you try it! I'm already hooked.

    I watched the first three minutes of this video before I decided I loved the concept so much that I would stop watching, buy the game, and play through the entire game myself first to avoid being spoiled.
    That was about eight hours ago. I do not regret my decision one bit.
    Now I'm back to watch you do it. 🙂

    Is it stupid that when I saw the fallen preacher, I immediately thought, A man has fallen into the river! From those lego commericals?

    13:30 I remember that game. It was lots of just getting the right order of keys for certain doors. I think some of the puzzles were alright though

    0:04 Also available on Xbox. Had a blast deciphering all the glyphs and doing the sneaking and having to go back after the "'bad ending" to get the good ending. We definitiatly need more puzzle games like this.
    P.S. Love your vids! Keep up the good work.

    Seeing this is making me want Tyler to play Tunic more than ever, other puzzle games may have more difficult or well crafted puzzles, but Tunic pushes your curiosity to the limit and makes you want to solve its world more than any other puzzle game I've ever seen. As somebody that's been with the channel for years, I cannot recommend Tunic enough!!!! (I still have the sheets of paper I used for sketching out the puzzles with me :)

      The issue with Tunic is that there is gameplay, and the gameplay portions are very difficult. I've never seen a video where I've seen Tylor play a game with difficult action RPG elements.

      There are accessibility options to make the game easier, but I don’t know if Tyler would want to use them. Either way, the game at least deserves a chance!
