The Message from Deep Space

I barely ever leave reviews, but this game is an exception. It is an absolute masterpiece. If you've ever read Contact by Carl Sagan, this scratches that same itch. The feeling of discovery and actually putting things together is like no other game I've played. Absolutely 100% worth the money, and probably my favorite game of the year

Did you watch the scene from Project Hail Mary where Grace and Rocky first begin to establish translations for each other and think "Wow, that was so cool"? This game is basically that. Its a puzzle about establishing basic shared concepts between you and an alien species using STEM subjects. Currently I am still on sections only involving math, but I know that as the game goes on, the questions begin to reference other fields. If you are a bit of a nerd and like puzzles, problem-solving, and sci-fi then I would definitely recommend this game. I mean I would recommend it to anyone, but you especially.

Amazing puzzle game, though it helps a lot if you have a math degree first LOL

This game hella litty my boy.

Great game so far, from a simple waveform to communication, incredible. Everyone should at least give the demo a try.

Still have a long way to go, but I'm already comfortable giving this a thumbs up. The game nails the experience of how first contact with a genuine alien species would go, and while the information you learn comes in trickles, the way it builds up and finally pays off makes it all worth it.

谜题方面还有改进空间，但瑕不掩瑜。 ow老僵尸感觉到了一丝血色。

This is perhaps the most pleasant surprise that I've ever had with a game in a long time. It had a great amount of depth with the puzzles for a simple premise, but what really locked it down as an all-time favorite for me was the story and the characters surrounding it. Nothing is wasted - the little anecdotes from the characters and the quirks of their personalities build up lovely individual story arcs for each one of them. There's a real sense of emotional connection between you, the characters, and the aliens through their message, and that's what elevates this good codebreaker game to great. Some of the puzzles are a little obtuse with answer format (there's a number of times where I know the SEMANTICS of what to respond, but the SYNTAX is just not accepted), but the overarching narrative and wanting to see more interactions from the characters was more than enough to motivate me to continue. Overall, just a lovely experience, one that I'll be thinking about for a long time.

Absolutely enthralling start to finish. I had my little pen and paper out the entire time and I think I filled up about 8 pages of notes trying to recall high school level maths. It was challenging but never frustrating, with an absolutely banging soundtrack in the background to keep me going. The characters and story are super fun and emotional and I started tearing up at multiple points. My Game Of The Year for sure, please please please play this.

Un jeu comme on en croise rarement. Des mécaniques simples, extrêmement addictives et avec un gros sentiment de satisfaction a chaque "puzzle" réussi. J'ai écumé la démo en 1 heure, je me suis jeté sur la boutique pour acheter le jeu. Mais en réalité, au bout de 5 minutes, je savais déjà que j'allais l'acheter ! Un petit air des merveilleux jeux de Zachtronics, un petit ovni (sans mauvais jeu de mot) qui passe parfois dans le paysage des jeux vidéos, que je suis vraiment ravi d'avoir découvert ! Essayez la démo, vous saurez rapidement si vous devez passer votre chemin, ou vous lancer à corps perdu dans l'énigme...
