STATION 88

STATION 88

In this game, you are playing as a satellite technician in a control room. Your goal is to control the satellite antenna to receive signals from spaceships and satellites, read them and then answer back. But the signals won't be readable at first, therefore you have access to a array of machines to help your read the signal.

⌨️ Controls

- [WASD] Move
- [Mouse] Look around
- [Left click] Interact (most of the time)
- [Right click] Only for substracting in Antenna Controls

📟 Control room

The whole game happens inside the control room. It is composed of multiple parts that all have theirs utilities.

📡 Satellite Antenna

From the main window you will see a massive antenna that you can move with the antenna controls at the center.

🕹️ Antenna Controls

At the center of the main room there is a control panel with 4 levers to control the antenna. There, you can set coordinates to command where the antenna is pointing.
- RESET Lever : Left click to reset the antenna pos
- X Lever : Left click X++ | Right click X--
- Y Lever : Left click Y++ | Right click Y--
- SET Lever : Command the satelitte antenna to point to the given coordinates (20s animation)

🌐 Radar

At the left hand side of the window there is a radar (in light blue) where you can see if signals are being sent to you. If a signal is detected, the radar will give you the coordinates to enter on the Antenna Controls to receive the signal.

〰️ Wiring Panel

At the back of the main room there is a smaller room. On the left when entering, there is a wiring panel. This is where you can hook the machines together. The top connectors are the input of the machines and the bottom connectors are the output of the machines. To connnect two machines together, click on an output connector of a machine and click on an input connector of another machine. For example, to connect the antenna to the noise reduction machine, output connector of the antenna and on the input connector of the noise reduction machine. If there is a signal received bu the antenna, you should see a noisy signal in the noise reduction machine (in the main room). Left clicking again on the same connector unplugsthe wire.

⚡ Electrical panel

On the right of the smaller there is a another panel to control the power levels of the machines. If a machine is not powered, it will not work.

⚙️ The machines

At the back of the main room (opposite of the window) is where the machines are located. The machines are helpful to transform the signal to be readable or to send a message.

#### Signal analyser
Diplays informations about the signal (works on any signal)
Very useful if you are lost on what to do to read the signal.

#### Noise Reduction
Cleans up the signal received by the antenna. When powered, the light turns on.
- Red Light 🔴 = No signal or signal that doesn't need to be cleaned
- Green Light 🟢 = Signal cleaned successfully

#### Image
Displays an image if the signal contains one. If not, displays an error image.

#### Text Input
Allows the user input numbers to respond to the signals.
- *️⃣ = delete last character
- #️⃣ = send signal

#### Morse .. -. . . -.. ... .-.. . . .--.
Translate from text to morse code and the other way around (use switch to go from one to the other). When powered, the light turns on.
- Red Light 🔴 = No signal or signal that can't be red by the machine
- Yellow light 🟡 = Processing signal
- Green Light 🟢 = Finished Processing

tip : if you translate morse code to morse code, the machine will work but il will just translate the morse code to more morse code which is not especially useful.

IF you are stuck :

#### Signal 1
- Set the Antenna to X:-7 & Y=6. (Right click for -1)
- Connect Antenna Output to Noise Reduction Input
- Connect Noise Reduction Input to Morse Input
