So beautiful, and love the concept of being a translator - reminds me of 'Story of Your Life'. The puzzles itself are a bit too obvious and doesn't give me the feeling of trying to decode anything, but rather just finding and clicking the correct option (I assume it's a bug that all the correct translations appear at top-left). Still this is really inspiring for a jam game.

Yes!!! We were hugely inspired by Arrival , which adapted the book, and Her, where the main character wrote love letters for other people.
we also kinda ran out of time for the puzzle mechanics so this was what we ended up with. Hopefully we can build on it after the game jam:)
Thank you for the lovely feedback
