About
The 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.
Set 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?
Translate 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
Inspired 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.

Reviews
This game tickles a lot of my favorite things... math, science, programming... so of course I love it. But do yourself a favor and grab the demo before buying, I think you'll find out quickly if it's for you or not.
May make your brain hurt but that’s okay. Math is good for you
Nerdiest game I know. Worth every minute.

Не обзор, рекомендация. Абсолютно нердовская игра. Пришел ради "определи толкование слова из контекста" и до сих пор не дошел. 180 головоломок за восемь часов - а их практически тысяча. Математика, логика, физика, химия, синтаксис, лингвистика, философия - я не подозревал, что моему мозгу приятно, когда он закипает и течёт.

this is so fun this is so fun this is so fuuunnnnn this game has me by the @-52_UNDEFs im having so much fun and i love the music and this game is so good!!!!!
Greatest game ever a few of the questions were kinda hard like 38 and i had to look that one up because i dont fully understand the syntax yet but im on like 50 something now and im understanding it better now
This game made me enjoy math. 10/10. (I have 5 hours in the demo)
This is a really interesting puzzle game, with math, linguistic, chemistry, and other challenges. I really enjoy seeing the topics of communication grow from just numbers to physics, chemistry, astronomy, and even grammar in a way that's (largely) believable in a first contact situation.
amazing game, I'm somone who loves math and astrology and linguistics so it was absolutely delightfull Oh yeah and also, like everyone who like this game, I'm autistic, I should be able to have a quick 4 hours conversation with my psychiatrist about this game and get out of the appointment with an autism diagnostic
Amazing little concept executed very well, ended up having a lot more to it than I thought it would! So many extra details made the whole experience really come together, like the surprising bit of depth your colleagues get given over the course of the game, and the moments where it asks you to stop and write a journal entry, and the many different little reactions your colleagues can give when you name a word some certain way (my favorite has to be when i defined a frequency as "Landlubbers" and Akers and Bautista had a little argument about if it was too goofy!). The music is actually really good too - I think Starchaser is my favorite track, everytime it came on i would start flying through messages, it slaps, and then tracks like Where The Sun Never Rises fit the more emotional moments very well! While I think a couple messages could do with a few extra hints or a few extra answer possibilities toward the end, almost all of the game was super enjoyable and addicting! If the premise seems cool to you, and especially if you have a little STEM or Linguistics background, I would highly recommend this!
