Project Hail Mary simulator

I translate

One of the best puzzle games I have ever played. Translating signals one transmission at a time, from math to chemistry to physics to... alien philosophy? Most of the game is straightforward, giving you one or two new terms and a series of quizzes to test your understanding while your colleagues trash talk each other. There were several leaps of difficulty that not even the built-in hints helped with (Act X I'm looking at you), but the overall curve remained pretty smooth and I finished all translations in a little over 3 days.

This game has made feel a certain way that i'm not quite sure any other game will be able to replicate.

I would absolutely buy more games like this.

Genuinely a brilliant game! If you’re a fan of the movie “Arrival” or the book “Project Hail Mary”, (also the movie, but the book goes much more in depth in how the main character’s process of communicating with another character) you will almost certainly love this. If you’re unsure the free demo has more than enough to tell you if you’ll like it or not.

An absorbing game, may at times feel a bit like reviewing your school education but juggling word definitions and trying to find words for things that clearly don't match 1:1 to English words is engaging. Sometimes a bit picky about answers but that's what you'd expect from an alien probe that's basically a recording of inputs and outputs.

My GOTY! I had so much fun playing through this game - the characters, the story, and the translation were all wonderful! If you have any intrest in space, science, lingustics or math you should 100% give this game a shot.

If hearing about the golden record on the Voyager probes makes you emotional, this is the game for you. An excellent thesis on why knowledge and feelings are inextricably intertwined. I don't know what else to say.
