If the sentence contains any words you’ve previously deciphered, they’ll come up as options. This approach is just like reading Chinese or Japanese – languages in which a single character has meaning that may change in combination with other characters. There’s no clear way to tell where one word ends and another begins, so in the beginning, you’ll collect single words until you can build a sentence. Whenever you’re meant to translate something, Aliya will first ponder whether you’re looking at an entire sentence or a sentence fragment. There’s ancient writing everywhere – walls, doors, old items. Deciphering a language from scratch is one of the game’s core aspects, and luckily you get to dive in straight away. The real fun begins once you arrive on a planet. But we’re going to ignore all of that, because… If you miss a turn, the game resets to a point just prior to the turn you missed on the intergalactic motorway. Moving the ship is fiddly failing to catch a current can cause you to completely lose momentum, and the arrows representing Six’s directions are often difficult to see. Since the Nebula actually flows like a river, it makes sense that this spaceship is a gently creaking sailboat, complete with sails you have to fold and expand in order to steer. To follow their trail of ancient breadcrumbs, Aliya and Six travel in a flying ship across the streams of their home expanse of the Nebula. This is asking me to suspend heavy disbelief, seeing as most researchers and their students share one copy of one book among the whole team, but hey. To help with her investigation, Aliya’s university bestows her with a robot she names Six. Soon Aliya finds out that Renba was looking to uncover the truth behind a long-standing societal belief regarding the relationship between humans and robots, to which a ruin called the Heaven’s Vault may hold the key. It’s her (albeit limited) knowledge of their language that makes her the best candidate for working out what exactly Renba was onto before he disappeared. The talisman belonged to her civilisation’s last Emperor, whom Aliya has been looking into for a while already. All she has to go by is a talisman with a mysterious inscription, and Renba’s last known whereabouts. Nowadays, when learning a language, we have access to a tonne of resources and can, for the most part, easily make contact with native speakers.Īrchaeologist Aliya Elasra isn’t quite so lucky.Ī prolific university researcher, Aliya travels across the galaxy in search of Janniqii Renba, a fellow archaeologist. It’s frequently imprecise, changes constantly, and learning one can be a lifelong process. Grab the goods and use them to continue funding your mischievous destruction in Teardown.As a linguist, I know language can be a frustrating thing. On the table there's $400 with your name on it, and a stack of gold bullions worth $2500 on the floor. You can do this quickly using your blowtorch.
Continue placing these all the way up, and keep jumping onto them until you reach the top.Īfter arriving at the top of the air duct, walk along and open the grate at the end to gain access to the room. Stand on the ramp and add a couple of short, horizontal planks, sort of like makeshift steps. The easiest way to get started is to place a plank vertically from the opening to the floor, then a diagonal plank linked to that one to create a little ramp (above).
Then continue placing the planks to help you reach the top of the vertical tube. You can do this with as little as eight wooden planks, but there's no harm in upgrading the number you start with at the computer terminal before starting the mission. Now hoist yourself up into the narrow duct, as this leads to the room behind the vault door.
