Game description
You wake up from long-term cyrosleep in a starship on an alien planet at the edge of known space. The rest of your team are missing. What happened?


"Edge of Known Space" is a single-screen micro-metriodvania with a sci-fi narrative. Discover clues and tools to reveal more of the map and more of the story. Explore the full map to piece together what happened.

(Note, I didn't get to finish the content for the game, it is only about 1/4 done. I have more planned, and I will finish it after the jam voting completes, but I welcome feedback and comments on where it is so far.)

Theme interpretation
"Secrets" as exploring the "Unknown"
- map is hidden until finding the clues to reveal it piece by piece
- story of what happened is a mystery that gets revealed piece by piece
- the plot twist includes secret agendas
- in the beginning almost nothing is known, by the end all is revealed
