  • I had a great deal of trouble figuring out how the use/with system worked right at the beginning of the game, so I was stuck in the first room for ages! A better explanation of how things work would've helped tremendously here, it's actually very straight-forward once you figure it out, but it should've been clear from the off. Apart from that (and some time getting stuck with the lift) it's a great game - very enjoyable to play, with an unusual and entertaining setting and storyline. Congrats!
  • Very nice game, I really enjoyed playing it.
  • Again another game I barely got off the boat with that promises so much more to explore when I go back without time restrictions. Cool escape room opening as well!
  • Getting the ship moving and landing at a new location was very cool. I really liked how the parser asks the player to specify what they're trying to do, it allows for more detailed commands. That first room is very tough, I nearly gave up at the start! Overall, very well done.
  • That's how I want these games to be. Instead of adapting the good old treasure hunt concept, innovation led to something very different, which I absolutely enjoyed. The background story paved the way to a dense atmosphere in a futuristic world. Wonderful adventure and one of my favorites in this jam!

This was so much fun to do. After long coding session though, I end up thinking in two-words "NEED COFFEE", "GRIND BEANS", "ADD MILK".. etc haha
