Super cool entry. One of my favorites so far. The lighting and sound effects and scene decoration really adds a sense of dread and discomfort, which I think is what you were going for.

Pretty short, but very unique entry! The way the environment conveys the story as player walks through each room is amazing and really sets up the mood. I was sure I was playing a horror game and waited for the moment to hide in one of the spots. Very neat idea for a story with a plot twist!

Wow really good visual story telling loved it real aliens vibes.

Nice entry, I love how it really pulls the carpet under us. I was hiding in all the little containers and spaces you establish, when I should have been hiding from myself! The details of blood trails really helped throw me off and fret over what was going to be on the other side of each door.

That plot twist... wow! What a great game! I was on edge waiting to enter a room and have to use the hiding options, turns out I never needed them haha. Great game and story!!

Loten's back with another take all my stars entry haha.  Dude both this year and last I feel like you do horror so well.  Based on your space deck builder last year I went in expecting something Cobalt Core but the realization that it was a space horror story was very satisfying.  Having things to hide in built the tension really well.  Great job!  You told a very compelling story with minimal cutscene, mostly just through environment and gameplay.  Really killed it for this round.  Only complaint is I wish there was more of it!

A great engaging story! Loved the twist at the end.

I see at the comments I was not the only one fooled with your story!

Amazing work Loten! Genius idea! Hiding in vents brings me back memories.

To be honest I have nothing else to add really. I am so happy I got to play this!

PS: seeing SCP at the end made me wonder if you were recreating a monster from the SCP foundation, only to find out it was the song hehe. Great work.

The plot twist at the end is really good. Really ties the story together. The enviroment was a bit empty, but the hiding spots sold the story good. Overall a great entry

The atmosphere was very well done and it definitely adds to the suspense. The hiding spots really made me think I was running from something, before I started seeing people and wondering what the real threat was. I love the detail and the sound design was very good too. Overall, great job.

The atmosphere on the spacecraft is incredible and really suspenseful. The hiding spots and seeing how the other people reacted was amazing and then that twist at the end, really well done. Also, the art is fantastic and I like all of the details like the blood trails and the way the light revealed what was in the room. Excellent all round
