You got it! Iron Lung is definitely a inspiration: single scene, eerie atmosphere, questionable objective.
Good point about the booth gears volume, not the first time I hear this feedback! About the speed of the movement, I wanted it to not be super responsive to create some tension, but I guess since this is very unfinished, it annoys more than creates tension at this point.
I thought about a written note or something, didn't have time to give more thought to the story, decided to focus on the core loop mechanics.
The disappearing is because I just configured too little pods to spawn, like 15 in total, then nothing... :/ Idea is that this one would be in space, and there would be debris drifting around, perhaps oxygen leak, other interesting alerts...
I'm definitely interested in taking this project forward so thanks a lot for the valuable feedback!
Cheers!
