Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes
Tell us about your game!
All controls are on the screen: WASD for navigation, E for actions, R for inspect, and number keys for choosing menu options. This game is 100% in a C# console, including the images, so resizing the window after launch currently breaks it. I ran out of time to get the console graphics engine to dynamically scale images, I hope to do that sometime still!
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes
Extra Notes
I realize it gets a bit boring toward the end of the game, I had to convince myself to make that sacrifice to meet the deadline and remind myself that this is supposed to be a *prototype* and not a feature-complete game. The ending of the game (You'll see the theme "It's Spreading..." on the screen) legitimately had me in tears the first time I watched it. Thank you so much for inspiring so many people, myself included, to finally do the thing and make a game!

Wow... what an experience, thank you for making it. It's very impressive that you made it with console only. I got used to the controls very quickly. It's a bit repetitive towards the end, yes, but it's understandable. I was in a similar situation where I had to choose between simplifying things or missing the deadline. :) If you spice up the endgame with a few more "side-quests" like you did with the water meter then I think you're set. But the game is already great. Well done!
PS: Loved the "PS-GJ24" planet name. :)
Thank you so much for playing it, and especially for giving feedback! I think that I'm going to scrap the console-only idea and expand upon the game going forward, I really enjoyed how it turned out! The water meter was originally just on the screen and I realized I could make it a side quest to give more to do than just water and sleep at the endgame. Thanks again for the feedback!!
I missed your PS at first! There's a few Thorster Eggs in there from the official planet name, the unofficial planet name, how long she's been eating nothing but CRUD bars, etc. Nice catch!
I've realized that for whatever reason I put "Pirate Media" on the title, I fixed it, but can't reupload until the game jam wraps. lol
