The Message is a short narrative/puzzle game where you decode a mysterious radio signal received from a nearby star.

You solve three small puzzles, each one unravelling a layer of the signal, as you strive to uncover its hidden meaning.

Instructions


Find a "Fullscreen" options in Settings.

Play with a mouse. Sound is highly recommended (while not strictly required to solve the puzzle, it will be much easier).

Running the web version on the Ludum Dare site tends to show a black screen, but it fixes itself on refresh. If trouble persists, you can access it at Itch.io.
