Interesting game! I wasn't able to properly get to an ending because I couldn't find the last message :') (The middle bottom one). Still, I feel like it's a very chill game, definitely atmospheric and I love love gathering those clues to piece together a story! Keep it up and good luck on the jam :]
Thanks a lot! I think you missed the tube in the corridor, but I'm not sure, I just woke up :D
Ah, I certainly did! Thanks for the heads-up! I tried through some endings after that and man it's pretty dark (in a good way!) Really interesting theme and story, and makes my heart ache for the poor soul who's trapped on the spaceship :')
That was cool - I tried a few endings to see if there is a "canon" storyline, but wasn't sure if I am missing something more beyond the environmental clues as to what happened. I need to know what really happened!!
But yeah, I liked it, it was nice, chill and gave me those "stuck in space" vibes. Definitely needs more, I really like this kind of environmental storytelling.
Thank you! After the jam I will totally expand it to show the full story!
This is pretty cool. I could see it expanding into a puzzley escape-room kind of deal.
Thank you! That was the initial plan, before I realized the jam was only three days ahah
An interesting idea! I liked the game. The only thing that can pass through walls.Can you rate my game too?
I noticed I miss a collider too late :D I've already fixed it but I can't upload until the jam ends! I'll try your game in the next hours or tomorrow :)
Fun game!
Thank you! We had a similar concept ahah
Yes hehe!
Love narrative driven entries like this. Really creative use of the theme too. Just an FYI, I was able to clip out of the ship and into space near the damaged capsule, but hey, for 72 hours small glitches like that are no problem.
I think the overall vibe and feel could be worked on a bit. Maybe some atmospheric fog. Maybe some visual FX that pop up when you unlock the keywords. Just something visually to help keep the player glued to the screen. Ultimately, a really nice entry for only 72 hours!
Thank you! I appreciate the help, I'm a "hard coder" and I'm just starting to lean into graphics things :)
Slowly uncovering the story made the game interesting. The choice of the message and its response in the end gave a feeling of "it mattered". <3
Thanks a lot! I wanted to make the story larger and deeper but I didn't have enough time! But I have plans :D
