The Arcadian Alphabet is a fictious script used by all of Gaia's inhabitants to communicate in written format. It is a simple substitution cipher, where each letter represents a letter of the Latin alphabet. There are some slight differences in some letters between the games, but with the corresponding decoding charts for each game, it is easy to read what has been written. Examples for each game are found below.

(samples coming soon)
text written on top of the covered stall | "shop" |

Oceanhorn 2[]
In Oceanhorn 2 the Arcadian alphabet has been updated. The letters Q, and Z have not been found in game yet so for the cipher those have been copied from the original alphabet from Oceanhorn.
