->''Things you WILL find in Contact: Monkeys. Cosmic terrorists. Powerful attack stickers. Fishing. Cooking. Humor. Fun with Nintendo Wi-Fi. Deeper meaning in life.[[hottip:*:[[YourMileageMayVary Results may vary]].]] Costumes that increase your power and make you more fun to be around.''
-->--The back cover of ''Contact''
From the mind of Goichi Suda ("{{Suda 51}}"), the guy who developed the {{Mind Screw}}y ''{{Killer7}}'', and published by {{Atlus}} comes a Nintendo DS RPG entitled ''Contact''.
A professor from an unknown galaxy is chased and attacked by the Klaxon Army (called the "[=CosmoNOTs=]" in the US release), and his UFO crash-lands on an unknown planet, scattering its power cells everywhere. In order for him to get his ship back into commission, he enlists the help of Terry, a boy he meets after crash-landing, to help him get his power cells back through the use of specially-developed Decals (yes, the kind you stick on your body).
In ''Contact'', you control Terry and guide him from island to island, searching for the power cells, beating up monsters, and making friends with the locals while on the lookout for the [=CosmoNOT=] gang, as they want the cells for their own purpose. As you play deeper and deeper into the game, the Professor's motives become less and less clear...
Absolutely no relation to the [[{{Film/Contact}} 1997 movie of the same name]] starring Jodie Foster or the CarlSagan [[{{Literature/Contact}} novel]] it was based on.

The ''Contact'' game contains examples of:
* AnyoneYouKnow
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Terry gains different abilities depending on the costumes you find.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The bad guys have a pet monkey.
* GainaxEnding
* GuideDangIt: Each of the costumes represent about 1/6 of the abilities in the game. And good lord, are each of them easy to miss.
* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits
* HyperactiveMetabolism, partially subverted: You gain abilities and health by eating food, but it takes time to digest, so you can't cram burgers into your face indefinitely.
* LighterAndSofter: While it still bears the {{Mind Screw}}y hallmarks of {{Suda51}}'s handiwork, it's a downright SugarBowl compared to his other works.
** This could be because he had a lot less to do with the development of this game than the others. He says the only thing he worked on in the game was Mochi.
* LevelGrinding
* ManBehindTheMan: Akira Ueda, who previously worked on the Shining Soul series. Most assume Suda51 was the one running the show, but he was just a producer who, as mentioned above, had little involvement, as mentioned here: http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20060601/sheffield_01.shtml it was Ueda's game.
* MindScrew
* NoFourthWall: The Professor talks directly to you, the player.
** Because the player is an actual character, and the link between the two screens.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The Professor and everything belonging to him.
* PanderingToTheBase: Atlus marketed this game as a quasi-''EarthBound''ish title due to the "quirky" {{Retraux}} art style and humor, although the actual game is...[[YourMileageMayVary a Suda51 game.]]
* [[spoiler: PeoplePuppets]]: [[spoiler: You, the player, have been doing this to all the game characters without knowing it. Especially Terry, who calls you out on this during the game's ending.]]

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The [=CosmoNOTs=].
