Ever seen Groundhog Day? It's a roguelike movie.
In 20kAtm you are a thief, a rogue who stole a machinery meant for the nobles, and as such, you have no idea how to pilot or control this clunky thing.
On each play you are a new person, stealing a different nauti-crawl somewhere else, the only difference is the knowledge of the machine and the story elements you've gained from the previous play.
At every new attempt there will be messages intercepted by the computer, revealing parts of the story, but also guiding the player more and more after each death, to avoid total frustration. The nauticrawl has many secrets but they won't be revealed all at once.
As for the main reason why the player explores these islands, it is something too spoiley to tell, and the same goes for the system used to move from one island to another.
Suffice to say I'm working on a whole new room of the nauticrawl, with even more controls and challenges, but this time they are not meant for land exploration.
Thanks for reading along!
