Lexicon

After years of searching for extraterrestrial life SETI finally gets a response from beyond the stars. But what happens next will change humanity forever.

Alien spacecrafts land on Earth and the world is left wondering: are they here to bring peace or war? You play as the sole linguist tasked with deciphering the alien's language, and you find yourself in the middle of a high-stakes game of diplomacy and delivering the perfect speech.

Communication with the aliens is difficult, and you'll have to establish trust and build a relationship with them if you want to uncover their true intentions. Every decision you make could have consequences for the fate of humanity. Will you choose to work towards peace, or will you lead the nation's military in a strike against the unknown?

Find out now, and play Lexicon (a Ludum Dare 53 submission).
