Description

You work completely alone on a tiny research station on an uninhabitable planet. Your job is to receive signals from space, decode them for the corporation, and monitor news from other sectors. But as the days pass, the transmissions grow stranger, the reports more disturbing, and the truth behind your routine harder to ignore.

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

How to play

You search for signals on the radar, lock their coordinates, and begin decoding them. To analyze each signal, you examine its image, audio, and related data. After that, you decide what to do with the information: send it, archive it, or delete it. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Like the concept, as far as I've been able to puzzle it together. Fiddling around with the knobs and sliders until something works is always fun. Sadly I can't read cyrillic nor understand whichever language it's used to write in this case, so other than getting all three messages into the I don't know if there's anything I could do. Had fun though.

@thegoblinguy Yes, we're going to add English localization, but there are more important tasks to focus on. There will also be several new features, a couple of endings, and more signals that you can decipher. We also plan to provide comprehensive training. Thanks for the feedback!!

Space ship feels cozy and it is interesting, I did notice as soon as I started walking a giant cat image came and hit my screen and was kinda weird.. Not sure if its a bug but it was funny as hell

@pidifussel You should probably press the decode confirmation button, and you can listen to the signal on the main screen

Cool art style and an interesting idea.
Had some fun playing, one of the rare games, where reading text is somewhat interesting!!!
Insane quality for a jam game <3

I gave you feedback personally, but I will write it here too.

I like the atmosphere of the game. And respect for the tutorial, you literally point on what we should do. Some UI is not intuitive, i didn't recognize what i should press at first time. Good game and i like that lady.

I had no issues with the webgl version. Cool design, great art style, definitely a plus for the project. Seriously think the text was a seller here, one of the best uses of text I have seen in a while in a Game Jam. Just feel it wasn't intuitive at times, but I definitely had fun.

Cool game! I liked the character design and tactile buttons on the interface. Reminded me a bit of Voices of the Void/Signal Simulator. The FOV adjustment when you walk was a bit nauseating for me though haha. Great work

I liked the music and artstyle and the choices that you have to make, they really make you think weather to listen to the instructions or to disobey.

Gameplay wise - i wish there was more challenge to decoding the signals. For example a minigame that requires precise timing or a tiny puzzle. Does not have to be sophisticated, just enough to make game more exciting.

Unfourtunately the radar stops displaying anything after second signal of day 2. I don't know if i am doing something wrong, or is this a bug... You also have to watch out with pixelized fonts, as they can be hard to read.

Nice game with a lovely character. It is too little too much of tutorial dumping at the beginning, tho :v:

Don't understand why not much rating was given to this project, the music and visual is great, i just dive into for some time and it was good I love it! I had some bugs but not so critical
And yes, tutorial is so heavy

Looks pretty good! I liked the idea and fiddling with the equipment was fun!

pretty good game!
I got stuck after sending a message to the supervisor, with no new message in the terminal, no way to go to sleep "next day is locked" and no interface on any screen.
Anyway I could play for robably 5 to 10 minutes before and it was very good! Nice audio, very nice drawing. thank you for the experience.
