🌌 About the Game
SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is more than a board game — it’s a strategic voyage through deep space, scientific discovery, and the tantalizing possibility of alien contact. Set in a near-future where humanity has the tools to reach across the stars, players compete as scientists and mission directors, coordinating probes, analyzing signals, and unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos.
Each action in SETI — be it launching a probe, scanning a sector, or decoding an alien transmission — is rooted in real scientific thought. The game cleverly balances engine-building mechanics, modular planetary exploration, and a race for knowledge. With a rotating game board representing the solar system, it’s a puzzle of positioning, planning, and prioritizing — all steeped in a grounded yet speculative vision of space exploration.
🎶 The Soundtrack: Melodic Science Fiction
To match the game’s mood, we’ve composed a fully original AI-generated soundtrack. Each track is inspired by key gameplay moments and thematic beats, from scanning distant stars to uncovering first contact.
The music blends cinematic orchestration with electronic textures, representing the meeting point of science and imagination. Across eight carefully crafted pieces, you’ll hear echoes of:
- Cosmic patience in the quiet of observatories
- Brave departures as humanity reaches skyward
- Alien mysteries embedded in light and static
- Hopeful encounters with the unknowable
Each piece is more than background music — it’s an emotional companion to the player’s journey through SETI.
🖼 The Visuals: Concept Art in Motion
Accompanying each track is a hand-crafted digital painting in a stylized, cinematic sci-fi concept art style. Dominated by warm orange, gold, and amber tones, each 16:9 image evokes the silent awe of space exploration.
From glowing orbital platforms and Saturn’s radiant rings, to alien obelisks and crystal cities, the imagery invites you to see the story behind the game’s mechanics. These visuals echo the painted aesthetic of the board game while expanding its world through atmosphere and detail.
