■ Game Features
● Decipher a complete alien language
Through deduction, conversation, and empathy, players will decipher a complete alien language word by word, translating over 200 vocabulary terms via observation, reasoning, and dialogue. Record your guesses about word meanings in a dictionary, then clarify each term's true meaning through context, watching your dictionary grow as your understanding deepens.
● Observe objects and search for clues
Click on any surrounding object, and Pigu will tell you its name in their language. Players can also decipher alien scripts scattered across the world to uncover clues about the past and present, gradually piecing together the forgotten history of the Pigu civilization.
● Construct sentences in Pigu language to make fate-altering choices
Players must construct sentences in Pigu language to make choices that affect dialogue and outcomes. Note: Pigus only understand complete sentences! The game features multiple endings and avoids excessive hand-holding, trusting players to find answers on their own.
● Explore a meticulously crafted alien world
Players will visit asteroid settlements with day-night cycles, exploring small, colorful planets filled with secrets and charm. Your Pigu companion, Nebi, will guide, teach, and react to your choices, complemented by an original soundtrack for a whimsical alien journey.
