You’ve ordered an Alien Transceiver in order to communicate with your intergalactic neighbours. Unfortunately, the device is not set up yet; to activate it, you have to adjust the climate in your room. Without any screen, the physical game challenges you to press buttons, turn knobs, adjust the lighting and room temperature, so you can start receiving signals. The final signal points to the beginning of another game: AlienSignal by Pixdigit
