Beyond: The Fading Signal

I love these dark and weird MadHead games as a fun change from the usual FF games. I love them all and enjoy this as part of the variety of the content. It’s great to have different universes in each of these and I really enjoy all of the FF games, no matter which series, or where they originated. I also love the collectors editions because I believe it’s important to pay creators for their content.

Hi, everyone! Although Friendly Fox distributed this game, kindly remember that it was developed by Mad Head. The basis of the story is that you play from the vantage point of a protagonist named Amelia. As a child, your brother Reggie went missing. However, wherever he ended up, he created an unusual invention. However, as the story progresses, you learn that this invention was an alien creation. Of course, you must save your brother and the world from an evil entity called the Contagion. (At least we aren’t saving souls like we do in every game from Oleg, lol!) So the question becomes, “Is the power of love enough to reunite with your brother, as well as save Earth?” I’m not telling you anything else because I won’t spoil the game for you. This sub- genre is a bit different from what we are all used to playing (fantasy, crime, mystery and horror) but it is a science fiction themed intergalactic adventure. At times it was quirky and odd, but that was the Mad Head signature. Give this game a chance. Purchase, play and just relax and enjoy it. If you are confused, there is a strategy guide to help you. I did not find most of the mini-game instructions ultra-confusing and if you have gamed for a long time you can figure them out. Challenge yourself in a genre that you aren’t used to playing. I’m not really a sci-fi fan but it was nice to have a different type of adventure for a change of pace. My true rating will be 4.5 stars. I deducted half a star because I felt that the touchscreen sensitivity was poor at times. Or else I’m extremely impatient lol! Although we don’t normally play a sci-fi sub-genre just give it a whirl. I know most of the gamers are women but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t leave your comfort zone and play in a more unusual genre. You will be proud of yourselves when you see that you really can game in every sub-genre. Remember, when you’re gaming, you’re also learning to think outside the box. It’s healthy to do so. I want to send a special thank you to Friendly Fox for your kindness and wonderful support during a very difficult time! 😊👍🏻

Your brainiac brother created a novel invention, and it’s “out of this world.” But what it unexpectedly did was open the door to an alien invasion bent on destroying planet Earth. You now need to find a way of saving civilization from impending doom before everyone starts “seeing the stars.” I’m so happy to be playing an intriguing game of science-fiction orientation, especially one developed by the “masters of science,” Mad Head. The storytelling is richly narrated; the characters feel authentic and provide depth, resulting in an emotional connection with them. Everywhere you look, elements of science are incorporated throughout your journey. Some of the settings are futuristically-styled, depicting a cinematic perception. Many of your tasks are science-based and complex, with enough high-tech gadgets and devices to tinker with, as well as robotic forces to fend off. The hidden object scenes start out as mostly word lists with some interaction, but they pleasantly diversify as the game progresses. I think the puzzles better suit the theme of the game; they are entertaining, somewhat challenging, and have scientific touches. I did not experience any glitches; everything seems technically sound. If you like sci-fi themed games, then I think you will be pleased with this one. Thanks to the developers for releasing this.
