Messages from the Universe Graveyard is a unique combination of interactive fiction and multi-user-dungeon.
[...]
the whole game is interactive in the very sense of the word: Every player is able to post lasting comments on these „terminals“ on their own and thus extend the games world while they play. This is not an entirely new concept, but it is extraordinarily well executed here. Comments that were probably made by the developer blend seamlessly into ones that might have been created by players and vice versa.
[...]The locations are dense and unique, and the short descriptions are well written. Likewise, the graphical design is splendid: Alienated pictures, superimposed by glitch effects, are used to illustrate the areas, and the rather minimal UI design works out well. Every location has a unique soundtrack that helps to tighten the overall atmosphere even more.
What is there left to say? Messages from the Universe Graveyard is a well crafted, highly unique, baffling atmospheric, and just overall sparkling game – once you set foot into its surreal world, you are likely to be enraptured by it.
