About This Demo

In year 2057, Earth received a large number of mysterious symbols from space. Who are they? Where are they from? And more importantly, what are they talking about?

Message From Aliens is a sci-fi puzzle game about decoding an alien language.

The entire game interface is written in mysterious symbols, and the only human language you can see in this game is your own notes.

Features:

1. An alien logographic writing system with over 1,000 characters, and more than 20,000 characters of game text.

You don't need to translate everything if you want to reach the game's ending. And there is plenty of content and secret if you want to explore more.

2. Don't be scared by the number of characters. The alien logograms are designed to be more logical and less complex than human logograms.

3. The first chapter of this game introduces alien number system. Most of the alien texts are just equations. (Alien Carl Sagan also believes math is the universal common knowledge.)

And the last chapter includes alien peotry and alien joke. 

4. In-game alien-alien dictionary. (Full version of the dictionary is not available in the demo.)

5. This game is inspired by the novels Stories of Your Life and Contact.

In fact, you are playing both protagonist's role, interpreting alien signals and deciphering an alien writing system.

Don't worry. Playing game will not teleport you to light-years away, or turn your understanding of time non-linear.

6. Some scientific concepts are involved, such as gravity and water electrolysis.

This game is not recommended for players under 15 years old.

7. Mini-games (in alien language)
