I LOVE the art style. The grainy texture, and kind of the open-world horror setting. Great scene building. I look forward to more of your work!

Developer

The vibe and concept is spot on. I love the setting, if I seen this on steam it would be an instant buy from me. I really hope you guys work on it more. Fantastic job!

Thanks for the heartwarming comment, really appreciate it! :) 

And for a release, it's actually a possibility, in the future.

Love the narrative and atmosphere of this game - I could see it working very well as a horror game.

I like the idea of the core gameplay loop, but I found that it was too easy, and I spent too much time sitting around waiting. Would have loved if there was a little bit more to keep me engaged.

Developer

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed that, it’s exactly what we tried to make good.

Totally agree with you, the gameplay loop is not tight enough. We have plan to make it work, thanks for your feedback!

I don't usually download Windows games, a bit out of laziness I must admit, but I came across your stream during the jam and it really intrigued me.

And I'm really not disappointed, the game is really beautiful, the atmosphere is really cool and the gameplay mechanics work really well together, little by little we set up our routine of checking, refueling... and I love it.
I just had a bit of trouble with the obstacles, I didn't really understand how to eliminate them, you have to stop close enough and press the button, right?

In any case, congratulations on your game, it's really cool ! ;)

Hey thank you so much for playing! :) I am glad you enjoyed playing the game! We had such big plans for this game but we couldn't get everything done in time. Hoping to work on it later tho.

For the obstacle removal, at the moment you can just spam it when you get close to the obstacle and it will make a shake and obstacle will go away.

I adore the pixel art 3d, thank you for making this, the TV is required for full immersion into this stressful scenario

I love this graphical style. The game is so atmospheric and eerie. I left a rating for your submission page. Would love if you took a look at our game too!
