Hold My Chicken 🎉

is one of the most compelling & interesting video games I've played in recent years.

Explaining it in too much detail would be spoilery. But the basic starting premise is that you attempt to decode glyphs to translate messages in a language that you don't know.

It has almost no replayability. I would like to wipe my memory of it, go back and play it again.

Since I can't wipe my memory of it, the next best thing would be for the publisher to release a sequel. 🤞

Here's a short playlist of @MamaVixiii playing it, with coaching from @nomiavixiii (who had played it before)

If you're thinking of playing this game yourself, do *not* watch this whole playlist! Maybe just watch a few minutes of the first episode to get a feel for the type of game it is.

@lookitmychicken One of my favorite games EVAR. I did play it twice in short succession (once in English and once in Chinese, which had some interesting differences) and I may play again in French or something. I wouldn't be averse to replaying in one of the previous language either, since it's been a while.

@ljwrites oh I can see that it would be even more interesting for multilingual people! Nice

@lookitmychicken Yeah, as you know the real-life language labels and sentences are fairly simple and don't require more than a passing knowledge of the language. Maybe in the future I'll try with a language I've never learned! xD
