Maybe I was wrong though. Once you've completed the game, they offer a translation feature, which may or may not indicate something. And I also played with sound off, forgetting that if there is voice-acting, it could help shed light. If you're serious about this, I will redownload the game and invoke my inner sperg demon.
The voice-acting is so cringe and they fail to say their own words correctly half the time. But I've powered through it and gained some insights... (And yes, I was wrong about some things last time around, and in hindsight, I was really sloppy.)

With meanings:
1: a human... why aren't you frightened of my presence?
2: the language? is this... a new world unknown to me...
3: "get out" no, you're asking the reason why i'm there...?
4: but why would you want to know that? the hypnotize should be working
But you notice how much these resemble the translations? So this obviously is a substitution cipher. Oh well...
Something along the lines of:

u s t b y c d f e h k l i w m n r o p g a
Lines deciphered:
1: you're a human and you're not afraid of us
2: can't you understand our language? Is this really a world we don't know
3: "get out" no are you asking why
4: but why would you want to know that? hypnosis is supposed to work
Which almost line up with the translation. So in the end, everything sucks.

So dev MTLs their own language and then uses a subtitution cipher then replaces them with glyphs, THEN asks a voice actor to read out the substituted letters? Finding that first end felt oversimplified but it's quite something else, was an interesting bit!
Apologies for late reply, was planning to play now since 10 hours ago was past midnight and I'm just now done from work. Thanks for the insights!
