Oh my god this is was so much freaking fun!!!! I was unsure how to begin but as soon as I got into the groove I was done for, I don't even know how long I've been sitting here working it all out, it was genuinely so much fun :DD I adore games styled on translation and figuring out foreign/alien words via context, piecing the things together, and the fantastical aspect with the strange creatures gave it extra flavour :D
Spoilers!!
Throughout the game, as I shaved down on my list on unknown words, one just kept confusing me with all the different ways they were described - the Solaam, and it was right at the end when I was re-reading The Signal that it suddenly hit me that it was addressed to us, that we were the Solaam! And that we were figuring out this family tree and history because they asked us to! They're the ones that sent everything! At first I presumed it was uncovered via archaeology or something, and we were historians going through ancient texts to understand the past, so it was such a cool twist :DDD
Also I gotta say, we sound so strange with giant tunnels and being big enough to step on these people, yet they trust us and our omens, considering our final word as law. There's so much in this setting I wanna know more about, are the Solaam humans, and the people are tiny? Or are the people humans, and we the Solaam are bizarre giant creatures? It's all so interesting!! :D
I had a lotta fun with this, 10/10 (and I really liked the art too! Very clean and easy on the eyes, and I enjoyed how you could get glimpses of their personality through their expression and how they held themselves! I also enjoyed the visual variation in how they all look)
Edit: Also I love that there were some gender neutral characters, idk if it was intentional but it surprised me and made me smile, I wasn't expecting it given the more medieval-style setting (visually at least), but as an enby it always makes me happy to see us around <3
