The Message from Deep Space

I'm not the kind of person who normally writes reviews, and this is the first time I have felt compelled to write one. The premise of The Message from Deep Space is a dream I have had my whole life, and this game gave me the opportunity to act out that dream for a while. It delivers on every front, including the cool visuals, the soundtrack, and an endearing cast of characters. To say that this is a "logic puzzle game" (or similar) is technically true, but that is severely underselling it. One message at a time, you are trying to derive meaning from simple logic questions, and before long, you will be amazed by how far your mutual language has come considering where you started. It is very easy to believe while you are playing that you are actually deciphering a truly alien transmission. I would definitely recommend this game for everyone, the game provides you with everything you need, and no special knowledge or skills is required. Don't start this if you have a big project coming up, you won't be able to start once you stop.

Très fun, nécessite cependant des bases solides en maths et sciences

This is my game of the year.

I'm not one for text based stuff, but... This is such a fantastic game. I'm absolutely hooked. It is kinda dense and thoroughly slow, but its such a delicacy to experience. The concept is fascinatingly complex and its presented in a very comprehensible way. I'm enjoying every bit of it. I still haven't finished it but I wanted to take a moment to appreciate the absolute mental skill it involves to work around such a difficult task: How do you create comprehension? I'm astonished by the design of this game and how its aesthetics carry it along in a fun and lighthearted way. This game is an achievement

Je ne l'ai pas fini, j'en suis encore loin je pense, mais pour le moment c'est un jeu vraiment formidable ! On va y discuter avec une race extra-terrestres, et le sel du jeu viendra de la traduction des messages. Et le développement de la logique qui nous est présenté est vraiment grisant ! J'aime ne pas comprendre directement, faire des hypothèse, les réfuter ou les approuver, et avancer pas à pas sur la compréhension globale ! J'ai sûrement encore de longues heures à faire sur ce jeu (la durée de vie se compte facilement en dizaines d'heure je pense), et j'en suis absolument ravi =]

Puzzles de descifrar un idioma alien. Así puedo sentirme como el Dr. Grace conociendo a Rocky. Buenísima mierda.

What a fantastic game this is. It's very easy to compare to Chants of Senaar (another excellent puzzle game) in that the gameplay is about understanding languages. But that is a game that will show you two green apples and then three symbols and you'll know that those symbols represent "two", "green", and "apple" in some order. The Message from Deep Space manages to build a large and expressive language from scratch. The demo is almost completely focused on arithmetic, but the game grows far, far beyond that. Probably no replay value, but there is so much content that I would easily recommend this game even at full price.

This game is fantastic. DIFFICULT. But fantastic. I can definitely see it not being for everybody, specially if you don't have a decent understanding of basic high school subjects, but if you like logic puzzles then this is definitely worth giving a shot. It's also lengthy! I don't even think I'm halfway through yet.
