TUNIC, inherent mild spoilers
I am almost certain that I can decipher parts of the foreign script in Tunic.
As far as I can tell, it's an alphabet or abugida, heavily resembling Hangul (which is probably why I found it possible to decipher at all - I'll get to why) but which phonetically transcribes English.

Here's the example that first clicked for me.
The first thing that we can note is that, like Hangul, it has obligatory null consonants!

The way that the script seems to work is as follows:
Like Hangul, the script is arranged in single-syllable (or maybe single-word, which would be unlike it!) blocks.
Unlike Hangul, every block is arranged about a central midline, which is always a vowel.
Vaguely like Hangul, the vowels are all distinguished by differences in that midline, and in particular by perpendicular strokes.

ALSO like Hangul, consonants after the vowel are written under it, as a patchim.

I would appreciate help! This is what I think I have so far.

I THINK I FIGURED SOMETHING OUT
but it's going to make this even more confusing to decipher.
Unlike Hangul, if a single word has more than one syllable, then the syllabic blocks are joined along the common midline. The top word here is surely "controls", for instance.
