Mission: Translate an interstellar message, using the universal languages of math & science.

PremiseThe Message from Deep Space is an odyssey of puzzles. Take the role of the mission's Translator, working alongside a scrappy band of scientists, and venture headfirst into the world of deciphering an alien language --- completely from the ground up.  ScenarioSet in 1973, Earth is the recipient of a meteorite that broadcasts radio waves. In the role of the mission's Translator, the player is responsible for designing responses to the meteorite's transmissions, which, if correct, will elicit new messages from the meteorite. Only through this radio wave dialogue will patterns, words, syntax, and meaning all take form, leaving but one question: What is it the aliens want to say? FeaturesTranslate an alien language Learn about an alien civilization Interface with a retro computer Manage a user-driven dictionary Design radio transmissions by frequency Collaborate with scientists that respond to your actions +1000 in-game dialogues +30 minutes OST +30 hours of gameplay Voyager IInspired by The Golden Record aboard the Voyager I space probe, The Message from Deep Space takes a realistic approach to deciphering an interstellar message. Beginning with the limited universal constants available to technologically advanced civilizations, the message spans a range of real-world fields of math & science. Decoding the message is tough, but with the support of the game's meticulous linguist, the single-minded computer programmer, and the affable astronomer, it is a challenge fit for anyone with Curiosity and Perseverance.
