A really cool idea that unfortunately is damaged by it's own high hopes. While in the game's fiction you are dealing with a machine that processes language, the reality is that it can only answer very specific queries. The result ends up being less "How do I decode the culture and language of this civilization?" and more "What does the game want me to ask next?" Which can end up being confusing and a tad frustrating.

It's fine, it's just... missing something. Worth playing if you like this style of game! Its aesthetics are impeccable, but its mechanics just aren't quite fleshed out enough. Its somewhat unique style of arcade puzzle feels more like constantly trying to untangle a knot. It's interesting, but I think the game mechanics needed more time in the oven. Just a few more tricks would have gone a long way, I feel. Its style alone is a feat, but it's not a feat that kept me hooked.
