Descend upon Earth and determine the fate of mankind for yourself in Message in a Melody. This is a novella-sized interactive fiction story written by Tyler S. Harris.
Message in a Melody is a sci-fi novel where you play as an alien.
This novel has you taking on the role of an interplanetary species – part of the Raqullan regime. You descend upon the Earth with a plan to force humans into submission – but the discovery of ‘music’ has you thinking twice.
Music doesn’t exist in Raqullan society, and your curiosity may be what saves the human race from submission (or extermination). Is music enough to save the world? It’s up to you to find out.
Here is a list of features from the novel’s Steam listing:
- Play as male or female. You do not have to choose a sexual orientation and can play as straight, gay, bi, or aromantic.
- Become a master of science, oration, weapons, or perhaps even a musical instrument.
- Build relationships in a manner similar to humans. Find a partner, a companion, or even a lover.
- Help a friend to research weapons, cure a disease, bring animals from your home planet to Earth, or become a musical prodigy.
- Be the first of your kind to perform music for a human audience.
- Gain enough power to become a member of the Raqullan High Council, or throw it all away to become a starving artist.
- Discover songs (achievements) as you play. Can you discover the entire playlist?
Message in a Melody is available on Steam, Android, iOS, and on Hosted Games’ web platform.
If you’ve already played through the novel or you’re looking for something more romance-based for Valentine’s Day – we recommend checking out the recently-released Devil On Your Shoulder.
