About the game

The Message from Deep Space — is a science fiction puzzle game about deciphering the language of an extraterrestrial civilization. The year is 1973. After the fall of a mysterious meteorite, humanity receives a radio signal of unknown origin for the first time. Instead of battles and grand discoveries, you face a far more complex task: learning to understand beings Earth has never encountered before. The first contact begins with one unknown symbol As a translator for a research group, you gradually build your own vocabulary, search for patterns in messages, and independently formulate responses to your mysterious interlocutor. Each successful transmission reveals new information, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the structure of the foreign language, its grammar, and logic. Mistakes become part of the research, and every discovery feels like a true scientific breakthrough. Chatting with colleagues, working on a retro computer, and numerous conversations create the atmosphere of a true research expedition. Gradually, the history of a distant civilization emerges from a collection of incomprehensible signals, and the main question shifts from "how to translate this?" to "why did they decide to contact us now?" Features of the game Independent decoding of the language of an alien civilization. Working with a retro computer and radio broadcasts. A large dictionary created as the research progresses. A lengthy story campaign with hundreds of dialogues.
