Last Transmission by Daliamha
Last Transmission is a horror game about a research station on a planet that begins receiving unknown signals from space. You have been tasked with decrypting these signals and helping those who sent them. The game features a 3D pixel art style reminiscent of old PS1-era games.
SMALL GAMEPLAY GUIDE ON HOW TO DECRYPT MESSAGE: you need to look at the number of the signal that came on the left monitor (It's X.Y.Z number from rules). Then, according to the rules on the wall to the left of the computers, count how many of them are executed, and this will be a number for decryption in an middle computer. It sounds complicated, but it's clear after the first time.

A volume slider would have been nice as well.
Very fun game with a good atmosphere!
Only feedback I have:
1. Pixelated font was a bit hard to read.
2. !> The explosion was waaay too loud compared to the rest.
3. And I'd agree with the other comment about the ending feeling sudden. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to wait for something. Almost felt like it should keep going.
Otherwise, good job!
But the visuals are nice and stylized. Loved snacking on the sealed MRE, plastic tastes great. The sound design is really good. And the final twist caught me off guard. Great game!
First, I woke up, realized I didn't understand anything, and decided to go back to sleep, but it didn't work, so I had to go to work.
Then quests appear on the right side of the screen; if you follow them, everything is pretty clear.
Good job!
I also found the game loop really interesting. I played the fixed version right away, and it worked great overall, except for one small issue. Sometimes it would freeze when pressing the decrypt button, and I had to open the Task Manager to get it working again.
As for gameplay feedback, I think it could be nice if you could take notes on the rules board or on a notepad, for example, to keep track of the current number or make little tally marks for matches. But maybe thats also part of the challenge, not having too many tools, could be worth testing.
I really enjoyed it though and will give it a high rating. The theme is implemented really well!
