The Alpha Device

Short but very cool

This type of story telling, while stark and simplistic, is also extremely deep and lonely. I recommend you push through to the ending, it doesn't disappoint. It's a free game, so what do you have to lose. Just make sure you have a controller, it will not work with a keyboard/mouse.

Amazing game with an incredible story 10/10 would recommend to friends if I had any.

This reminds me of the sci-fi short stories I user to read years ago. It's a decent story, well presented with good sound effects and ambient moody music. The voice acting is spot on too. Though this is pretty much a visual novel there is a game-play element as the player has to negotiate the 3D maze that is the interior of the ship to find each message. I really liked the way the interior was presented, rather than being solid structures there is a lot of light with building elements appearing, as though from a fog, as the player flies towards the next message. This, combined with the relatively slow speed of travel, made the interior feel as though it was immense. Played through the whole thing in a leisurely hour and really enjoyed it

A little gem, truly. As you're going to unfold the story, you get caught by the immersion in a very soothing way. And with its simple means it really is astonishing how this is achieved. No technical masterpiece at all. But the storytelling sucks you right in and makes you wanna know how it continues. And hey, it's free after all. About 45 minutes of great entertainment. Thanks for this cool experience.
