A game in which you use your in-depth knowledge of xenolinguistics, which you definitely have, in order to help astrophysicists decipher a signal emanating from the depths of space.
Mainly you read emails and puzzle over a bunch of glyphs.
I had a ton of fun making this, even though it's unfinished - I wasn't able to create the entire step-by-step of the puzzle, so there's a first "level" and then therestofthepuzzle. It's probably much too hard, but I'd be happy to give additional hints in the comments to anyone who asks!
I created this in Godot with supporting art from Procreate and Pixaki. Sound effects in bfxr. I wrote some tunes but they were bad enough that I decided not to include them at all.
I hope you enjoy - especially if you like weird difficult puzzle games like Chants of Sennaar! You might like this!
