This game was created in one week for Brackeys Jam 2022.2. Please excuse the janky artwork, I over-scoped as per usual.
You've come to an alien planet to facilitate an emergency evacuation. Someone there needs your help, but you'll have to learn her language in order to bring her to safety.
Controls
WASD - movement
E - interact
How To Play
The radio menu (accessed with the '...' button) allows you to send and receive messages with the alien. You click each word to form your message and hit "Send", and the alien will respond.
Each new word you learn gets added to a list. You can use that list to guess at the word's correct translation.
Good luck and have fun!

A really cool concept! I had a lot of fun trying to figure it all out :D Do you have a list of translations? I'm curious if I got the words right or not :O
Thanks so much! There’s no “correct” answer for some of the words, a couple different things could work, but here are the ones I used:
Ooo seems like I managed the general gist of most things, but mistook the locations like the office for compass directions :O It's cool how up to interpretation so many of the words are, and that they can still make sense anyway! Thanks for sharing this :D
It's a neat idea, with the translation as a mechanic. My only suggestion would be to make the text faster in the intro, or be able to control that. Might be better to start the game play sooner, then fill in the back story after. Keep going!
Actually really love the art for this!! Such a cool concept
