The Message from Deep Space

oh my god

Really scratches my puzzle itch in a unique way. The math, science, and coding are integrated into the puzzle solving in an enjoyable way that is not at all contrived. It's not a sandbox Zach-like, but it pushes the same buttons for me. Highly recommended.

AMAZE! AMAZE! AMAZE! 100 transmissions in, and this is the best puzzle game I ever played! My first impression was that this will be something like Voices of The Void, but the more I play, the more wrong I am. To be honest, it's maybe similar to Project Hail Mary than anything)) Game-play: unique, probably one of a kind, and really interesting if you're into mind-puzzles and math. Music: cherry on top (square cube law is BANGER <3 ) Story: so far so good, keeps warm and cozy atmosphere with team members logs.

I can already tell this game is brilliant

This feels like a landmark game, what The Roottrees are Dead did for corkboard deduction games, this will do for translation games. The puzzling and the storytelling weave together wonderfully, and what really makes it click is that it really feels like you're building the whole thing, piece by piece, and all the insights and revelations flow from what you've built. It's really able to look clear-eyed at the material realities of the universe and the challenges of communicating with completely alien life, but it's also really optimistic about the whole thing and that really helped carry me through. It feels like something really valuable in the moment we're all living in.

This game is so incredibly fire. I love STEM so much and having a translation game dedicated to it is so so so great. I really love all kinds of translation games and this one is my favorite. If you like languages and STEM, get this game. It's the best. Also the story is super good; all the characters are really fun and the aliens are great too. Honestly $10 for this is a steal.

Makes me feel so so stupid 10/10

now this is video games ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Credo uno dei migliori videogiochi che abbia mai giocato e l'ho completato in solo una settimana perché mi aveva veramente coinvolto. Ti porta gradualmente a capire un linguaggio alieno, partendo dalla semplice matematica e arrivando fino a concetti astratti, e a volte riesce anche a essere abbastanza impegnativo e proprio per questo diventa soddisfacente quando si risolve una trasmissione. Mi sono sempre domandato come avremmo mai interagito con un'altra specie senziente e questo gioco, insieme a Project Hail Mary, che trovo anche abbastanza simili, mi hanno dato una risposta. P.S. [spoiler] anche il finale stesso mi ricorda molto l'incontro tra Grace e Rocky [/spoiler]

My play hours are in a separate family account and NOT on deck. I'm 10 hours in and this is a peak puzzle game to me. Obra Dinn and Golden Idol are my favorite games in this genre, and this has a chance to land at that level.
