Complete rewrite: Signal Elsewhere text-based mystery game
Inspired by A Dark Room (resource management, incremental progression) and The Jejune Institute (ARG mystery, layered narrative, multiple endings). - Terminal-based gameplay with typewriter effects - 4 phases: Reception → Decoding → Transmission → Awakening - Resource system: Power, Bandwidth, Data - 9 upgradable buildings (antenna, receiver, decoder, etc.) - 10 explorable facility rooms with narrative content - 5 NPC visitors with dialogue trees - 12 signal transmissions, 8 research logs - 4 endings: Contact, Silence, Truth, Sacrifice - Spectrum analyzer and facility map canvases - Save/load via localStorage - Mobile-friendly with action buttons

|
# Signal Elsewhere
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An interactive educational experience about money, technology, food, and health — built as a Capacitor Android app.
|
A text-based mystery/incremental game inspired by *A Dark Room* and *The Jejune Institute*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Development
|
You awaken at a terminal in abandoned Lab 484. A signal pulses from somewhere unknown.
|
||||||
|
Build equipment, decode transmissions, explore the facility, and uncover the truth about "Elsewhere."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The app is a single-page HTML/JS application. No build step is needed for the web version.
