Wow, I really liked the game, the graphics remind me of ps1, Yes, and I enjoyed spending time!

Definitely one of the most original and interesting premises for the jam games I've played. Experimental approaches to horror are the best. This oozes atmosphere and I love the sci-fi premise and inherent claustrophobia, punctuated by the slow pacing. This can be a bit repetitive, but when things go wrong, there is that dread, especially of having to exit the drill and go out into the cold, lonely emptiness of the tunnels to fix things. Definitely immense potential to build on this, as others have said, some quality of life fixes could help. But fundamentally, the game achieves the tone it sets out to create: there is the player, there is the machine, and there is the sense that in this job the player is resigned to, they are really cast out into the fringes of human survival, alone. Enjoyed the special encounter with the visitor at the end! 

I can see the IRON LUNG inspirations. Big issue is I wish I could press a button or click on the map to get a better view of it or the green cluster would be more easily noticeable cause if your not looking hard enough they kind of blend in with the map. Would of also been nice to have some idea of where I was located on the map and much like another user said I ended up getting a black screen when I exit the drill for a second time.

A slow burn, but a good one. Really "digging" (Ha, get it) the aesthetics. 

I had to check the hints on your page because I had a hard time finding the green specs on the map (Although to be fair, I am kinda blind sometimes). But I really enjoyed it, kinda gave me Iron Lung vibes.

I was stuck for a long time at the beginning, lol, maybe because of a lack of intuition, but anyway, I found the game interesting. Maybe if it made it a little clearer what needs to be done right away, it would help new players a lot.

Good game, good luck to you.

I will say I couldn’t finish the game because I was a bit lost on what to do inside but I managed to get the first blackout. Fantastic visuals and especially audio design, really liked the feel of the game, reminded me of this submarine game I saw Markiplier play ages ago. What would have helped me I think would have been a position indicator on the grid, or a clearer indication on where I should go (Also which is X and which is Y cos im dumb and always forget). Think a walkthrough of the first position would do wonders, you could then have whatever system it is that’s helping you die to tie into the setting.

Also bonus points for the greatest jam credits I have ever seen. Very good entry.

I got stuck on a pitch black screen after I left the drill for the 2nd time. Went out > in > out and just black, can't interact, escape just let me have my mouse back but no pause menu. The aesthetics and vibe are very iron lung-esk and I love it!
