How does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic of the game is to get back to your ship while you survive with your limited oxygen supply by regulating your breath (taking deep breaths) and the use of your suit's oxygen-reliant features.

I love the idea of it being after an among us lobby

The voice acting and effects in this game are really good! I hope someone makes a playthrough video of it because unfortunately, I wasn't able to reach the spaceship. At some point, the effects were so heavy that I lost track of where I was swimming. Despite that, it was a really unique experience. Well done!

That's rich coming from the great developer who made SUSpire!

Very good implementation! Incredibly scary and anxiety inducing! Great atmosphere!

I guess in the game's predicament taking  deep breaths is not the best course of action, since the oxygen supply is low.

By the way, I couldn't figure out if there's an indicator for player oxygen? There's the oxygen supply, and the warning "don't forget to breathe", but I missed stronger indication. Also, I kept trying to read something about Lazarus on the bottom of the screen which I couldn't ,  because the screen was shaking. I think you definitely reached your goal for the gaming experience, congratulations!

Thank you for playing!!! I'm taking note of my shortcomings for the HUD if ever I update the game. Anyway, the bottom text is just flavor text which is a direct  quote from Jesus before Lazarus' resurrection. The glitch effect can also be disabled from the pause menu.

Haha sequel to Among Us, tho I feel that i need a few more prompts to understand how to play the game! Also initially thought the Sun was the white light you see at the end of the tunnel or something XD

Really sad by how short this game is. The concept and presentation is absolutely amazing. Good work!

The game is doing a great job of capturing the helpless feeling of being stuck in a void/space. I really find that unique and cool. Voice acting is a nice touch to the game! Although I would suggest a bit more understandable UI for the game. Super cool attempt still.

The voice acting has got to be the best I've ever heard from a video game...
