Read the full game description

AI Space Puzzle is a cooperative deduction game built around deliberately restricted communication. One player sees the solution as the damaged ship AI but may communicate only with a small vocabulary of colored tokens and pawn references. The astronauts interpret those clues, move through a modular spacecraft, collect the right keys, and try to reach their assigned rooms across forty increasingly demanding scenarios.
