How did you choose to implement the Theme: Alien Infiltration in your game?
We chose to implement the theme of "Alien Infiltration" by setting our game, Cosmic Descent, aboard the USS Daedalus, a spaceship that has been overrun by an unknown, deadly creature. The player must navigate through the ship's dark corridors, gather crucial items, and complete an ancient ritual to survive. The presence of the alien creature creates a constant threat, embodying the theme as players experience the terror and mystery of an alien infiltration firsthand.

Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
2 - Alien Impostor

what a chonker of a game! But I'm glad I downloaded it. Gave me several jumpscares. Though I think it'd be nice to hear him more
I'll be honest the game was very difficult for me, but otherwise the gamefeel and the atmpsphere are great! really creepy. Alien Isolation vibes

What a marvellous comment! Thank you very much for your feedback. this is a game jam game developed over a period of time, there were many more things I wanted to add, but I couldn't add them due to time constraints.

Of course game weighs a lot, but it looks good. It’s not clear how to run away from the monster (based on my feelings, he always knew where I was). I kept losing until I bugged it. If you go into the locker, the monster will stop in front of it and freeze. There are not enough footstep sounds for the player and the monster. It’s a very unexpected jump scare when you’re just looking at an object and it comes running from behind.

In fact, it is difficult to escape from the monster, but if you enter the cabinets before he sees you and wait for a certain period of time, you will notice that the monster is gone, and unfortunately it is very difficult to build a game under 5 gb in these graphics. Thanks a lot for your comment
