How does the game fit the theme?
Not a single system aboard the SHS Charon can go wrong otherwise: GAME OVER.

I am in awe of the size and scope of this game. Navigating the SHS Charon was an amazing experience, as I felt myself fixated on every minute detail in every room for any signs of deviation. This game is genuinely awesome.

Developer

Wow, thank you for your kind words. That's awesome to hear. I'll pass your message on to the rest of the team.

I see you made a game yourself which looks super cool (great itch page!), so I'll check that out too. 
Congrats on your first game jam <3

REALLY enjoyed the art style. Love the ps1-like era art. Fun game with a good scifi creepy vibe to it. Glad to have played it!

This is incredible. Making this in a week makes it even crazier.

That means a lot <3 We've been bouncing around the idea of horror, our content is usually much warmer in nature :P so I'm glad it works.

We made extensive use of free 3D assets, as this was the first time we've produced anything in 3D!
So credit to all those amazing artists - we attached a PDF crediting them all.

We had wonderful dreams while developing it, I assure you xD 

Developer

We've updated the Itch page to include a Tutorial section! Please check that out before playing <3

It looks incredible. I got a bit confused about the goal and how to maintain the systems. E/space didnt seem to interact with them. I might just be too tired from the game jam lol. Definitely some good spooky vibes and i'm planning to try it again tomorrow

We weren't able to implement a contextual UI in time D; 
So hint for Day 1: Try get to the Engine Room, then look for the Alarm room.
(Tell us how that goes, otherwise it might be a bug!)

And thank you! This is our first time designing in 3D (animation, level design, lighting, textures and importing models are all new for us), so I'm glad the end result looks alright <3 (credit to all the amazing free models we used)
