Very lengthy game for a jam, but I enjoyed it from start to finish. Would have been nice to make the transmission english to give the game a bit more accessibility. Keep at it!

@gato @lori-lou @gobigredfan Thank you for your feedback, I am humbled by the positivity!

@markus-sihler initially there was only the morse code, but I thought that maybe some people would prefer translating a foreign language instead of morse code. I also did not want to give away the answer immidiately, puzzle game needs to have few puzzles too! :D

Trippy!

Nice idea with the scanned graphics, it worked pretty well and made for a unique visual style.

The solutions were maybe a little too obvious at times, but they were still enjoyable. I feel that the main factor that prolonged the game was that the solutions to the puzzles were very commonly found at the other end of the level, which sometimes didn't make much sense (spoiler):

!> I find it hard to believe that the only electrical sockets in the whole building where I could plug the radio were located in the starting room :)

I also liked the music. Nice ending, menu screen and the level of polish in general. I wish the mouse sensitivity was a little higher.

Great work overall!

Really sick! I loved the visuals, they ended up feeling perfectly familiar but still otherworldly, and despite being simple the puzzles were still satisfying to solve, the radio one in particular. Great stuff, would love to play more!

What an original experience. It brought me back in time into the era of FMV inside games. I can't believe that something can be nostalgic and innovative at the same time.

I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above
