  • Good cocktail of absurdism

What do you like about your game?
It's got a certain type of charm. I think I did well in creating something interesting given the time limitation (+work +social life). Hopefully its subversive "puzzle" is enjoyed, or at least memorable : P.

Host

this is great thank you

Took me some 10-15 minutes to complete, but for some reason, I have no idea why, I felt really exhausted by the end. That was probably the intention, with all the grating sounds and whatnot. The tiny FOV was a bit too much though, and a major contributor to the weird motion sickness feeling the game gave me. I’m a huge fan of the visuals though.

although the visuals are certainly what drew me to this game, the wit of it is what gave it lasting charm to me. the very opening line about ai language models? hilarious. captchas in the middle of the crashing airplane? also perfect. this style of going against visual norms is certainly abberant, perfectly fits the theme. it is definitely a memorable experience!

Loved the choices you made on visuals, style, and audio. Playing this was an absolute trip! Wonderfully weird. A memorable experience, beyond a reasonable doubt.

Very surreal and creative design, remind me of Cruelty Squad with the UI design. A bit hard to play but it's the charm of the genre so I don't mind. Unique game like this are why I like indie gaming so much.

Developer

Thank you! had a lot of fun making this one

Pretty Interesting but confusing game. Could've used a tutorial as I have no idea how to refuel.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback : )

Just added a V1.3 with some increased timers based off user feedback.

Keeping V1.2 around though until windows smart scanner audit is complete.

and with 20 minutes to go I've added V1.3.1 with a quick fix to the tombstone pickup repositioning system.
