Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The non-playable oxen symbolize the original Proto-Sinaitic glyph for the aleph (and elephant as a word speculatively shares a cognate with the aleph), the grainy textile-like aesthetic and soundtrack are reminiscent of a general Middle Eastern style, the right-to-left level progression comes from the right-to-left nature of Semitic script, and the various chapter themes (English, Greek, Phoenician, Arabic, and finally Hebrew) depict the languages’ connections to the aleph.
