I really liked this game for its story and world building aspects. I played it thru and wanted more. It's a great concept and well executed, to use different languages as a natural way to prevent a player from progressing a certain path until they have the ability to translate, however I also realized it wasn't so useful to actually understand the non-translated messages, and it could have been super cool to have a "secret power" if you actually knew what f.x. the german ppl were saying. However I'm glad it wasn't gimmicky in rewarding you with nonsense if you did manage to decipher the messages. The rewards were story related and were pleasant. Anyway, the story is compelling enough that it didn't matter, and the gameplay forgiving enough.
