The Unidentified Signal
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A strange signal has come from space, and it needs decoding. Normally, this would be someone else's job, but via a series of strange coincidences, everyone else is out of the office at the moment. Meaning it is now your job to translate it.
The only problem is that you have no idea what you're doing.
Luckily, you should be able to find what you need in the room with you, if you can understand it....
CONTROLS:
tab - open/close cyrptology book
minus(-) - open/close computer
esc - pause/unpause
backslash(\) - mute/unmute)

When you go back out of the controls page the mouse disappears. I like a lot about this game, all the notes sections are good, music is a bit harsh and has a big silent bit but is ok. I like the quick drawn ciphers, quick and does exactly what its supposed to. But im too lazy/stupid to play properly. I did a lot of this stuff as a kid, it will take me ages to figure it out but i will get there eventually. I will try properly if im in a logical mood. I know others will love this.
not sure why the mouse would disappear! thank you for playing tho! always translate everything possible unless it’s obvious that it wouldn’t do anything
