The Message

The Message is a short narrative/puzzle game where you decode a mysterious radio signal received from a nearby star. Submitted to Ludum Dare Compo 59.

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

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

Either use the web version above, or download for Windows or Linux below. Note that the Windows binary is unsigned and will trigger a security warning.
