Follow an Auri Field Researcher from the planet Auriga, as they land in an enchanted forest full of creatures who speak an unknown language. Interact with the inhabitants of the forest and learn their language to complete your research–and maybe learn a thing or two about what Auri really means.
The Meaning of Auri
Steam“The Meaning of Auri” is a language deciphering game set in an enchanted forest. Play as an alien from the planet Auriga, leading a new xenolinguistic project for The Archives, and learn the Forestian language.

After The Archives from planet Auriga discover a new part of the galaxy they have yet to explore, they send you, a Field Expert who travels the universe for research. Explore uncharted waters, and try to bring home the information needed to fill a new section in The Archives.

Speak to the citizens of the forest, and come in contact with a language that you’ve never read about in your studies. Can you use your research skills to learn a language unlike any others?

Help the Forestian citizens complete various tasks, and learn to communicate with them as you decipher their language. Perhaps even find a place for yourself, one where you finally feel as though you belong.

Note down your translations of the Forestian words as you figure them out, and fill up your dictionary with correct answers in order to progress the story!
