This here Tunic game, it’s got folks all riled up. See, it’s got this secret language, all squiggly lines and whatnot. And people, they wanna know what it all means. Well, I heard some young folks talkin’, and they said it ain’t impossible to figure it out. You can translate that Tunic language. This old lady will tell ya what I heard.
First, you gotta find the words that stick out, you know? The ones you see over and over. They in the book that comes with the game, and they’re in the game itself. That manual has all kind of things. It is important. If you got like half of them funny translator marks figured out, you might be able to put some sentences together. Like puttin’ together a quilt, you see, one piece at a time.

Some smart aleck on the computer, goes by “oposdeo” or somethin’, they made a whole thing explainin’ how it all works. How them characters are made, which ones you see, and how they go together to make words. They call it grammar, sounds like a kind of a disease to me. But hey, if you into that kinda stuff, it might help ya.
Now, I seen some folks say you don’t gotta learn it all. They say you can just play the game and have fun. It got wolf and fox. Just like old time’s game. That is Legend of Zelda. You can play it if you want. This old lady not gonna stop ya. The Tunic is simple game. But if you want all the secrets, every last one, then yeah, you gotta crack this code. Otherwise, you just look at the pictures and figure things out that way. They say there’s some puzzles at the end, after you think you done, that need this language. Optional, they call it. Means you don’t gotta do it.
- Some smart folks made a translator. Type your words in box.
- You type in the funny letters, and it tells you what they mean. Some smart folks figured this whole thing out.
- There is a place, they call it Reddit. You can find something to help you to translate.
- You see words everywhere in game. Try to remember it.
- The game manual is very useful. Read it carefully.
I heard some young’uns talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called a “translation patch.” Don’t rightly know what that is. Sounds like somethin’ you’d put on a hole in your overalls. But I guess it helps with the translator. There is a tool to help you. They also mentioned somethin’ called a “notebook tool.” Probably just another one of them computer things. This Tunic game has many things.
They say you ain’t supposed to understand it all at first. This ain’t no simple game. Just play the game and have fun. You see all these things and have no idea. That’s how they want it. You supposed to look at the pictures and see what little English words they give ya. Then you go and try things out in the game, see what happens. It is fun, I think.
This whole Tunic thing, it reminds me of back in the day. We had a code, me and my sisters. We’d write each other notes, all jumbled up. Only we could understand it. Kept the boys out of our business. That’s how I learned to read and write. Maybe that’s what they’re doin’ here. Makin’ a secret club, just for them that can figure it out. You can translate it yourself. But it is hard work.
The Tunic is a hard game, you know. This language is also hard. But if you are patient, you can learn how to translate. I seen a lot of folks talkin’ ’bout this game, all excited. They say it’s like them old games, the ones we used to play on them little boxes. They say it’s a good game, even if you don’t know the language. But if you do, well, that’s just a little somethin’ extra, ain’t it? Like findin’ a five-dollar bill in your old coat pocket. The Tunic has many secrets.
So, if you are gonna play this Tunic, just remember what this old lady told ya. You can figure out this language. Some people already done did it. Or you can just play and have a good time. It’s up to you. Either way, it sounds like a hoot and a holler. Just don’t get too frustrated if you can’t figure it all out. Ain’t no use gettin’ your bloomers in a bunch over a video game. It is not worth it, you see. Just enjoy it. The Tunic is just a game.
