The breathing sound effect as ambient noise was an interesting choice. I like the movement, the jetpack felt good to use. I approve of the lore notes (as someone who used them in my own entry too haha). I feel like you have a good base if you decide to capitalize on the creepy/ominous atmosphere you seemed to set up. Nice one!
Hah, that breathing was a bit creepy, loved it! However I was not able to get far as I tried a few times and kept getting this error (incase it helps you solve something):

Nice game, Atmosphere was great with the (lack of) sound and art. I liked the story too, makes me wish there was more to play. Gameplay was fun, the gravity felt like I was on the moon, the only thing I would switch the jetpack toggle to shift to make it easier than having to take a finger off movement to hit Q. Great job, I would love to see more, and I always like seeing a fellow GameMaker!
This is a nice game, i liked the breathing effect and the general vibe! The notes lore was also cool.
I was having fun playing this one!
To be honest, just when i started, I thought it will be average entry, but it suprised me quickly!
-I love that you used breathing as the "soundtrack". It really makes nice immersion and make peacfull but kinda disturbing vibe at the same time. Well chosen here.
-Phisics is made very well. Flying with jetpack is really satisfing !
-I like that you put notes from the crew as small lore elements.
-The theme you have chosen is also interesting. Would be great if you add some horror sci fi elements:)
Overall i think it is short but very solid entry, i was having fun playing it, which is most important !
