From BoardGameGeek

Xenolanguage is a game about first contact with alien life, messy human relationships, and what happens when they mix together. Play centers on the "Platform": a custom channeling board of mysterious origin. Use a planchette-like lens to channel over alien symbols as you receive and interpret messages. Players will progressively discover meanings for the alien symbols on the board, grapple with what they learn, and experience how it changes them. The base game of Xenolanguage includes a custom channeling board with thirty alien symbols, planchette-like lens, story deck, and digital soundscapes.
