Tunic does a lot of things well for a modern game. There are secrets to discover, an interesting map, accessibility options that open the game to audiences that don't do as well with keyboards or console controllers.

There's a unique in game language (and a good, and then really good hint in the game on how to crack into it); but it is _not_ required to even get the good ending. Just enough of the lore's surface is there and a player still has a good chance of reaching the good ending. All the more so after seeing the bad and then reloading the save file (standard game mechanics).

Some fans have even put together decoder tables to assist translation of the game language to English; as well as a version of the manual that's completely translated if you don't have the time or desire to do that.
