Thank you for playing.
I hope you can understand that such a well known and detailed story like "The Lord Of The Rings" (which you mentioned in your comparison) would be hard to compress in a 7 minute long story which was written within a few days for a game jam.
The theme unstable lies within the chapter's detail of the story (I am sorry if it was not clear enough), but in the end it is not like a physics game where "unstable" is visibly obvious.
(I will update the game's description for more clarification).
One core element of the story is the question:
-How society's stability will be affected from a dieing sun?-
Chapter 1: The world suffers from +unstable cimate conditions due to a dieing sun.
Chapter 2: The anonymous source is telling that the World Government is conspirating with the try to gatekeep truth to prevent a +destabilsation of human's society.
Chapter 3: The spaceship's systems are becoming +unstable and the crew's thoughts about the once before trusted World Government is +scattered.
Chapter 4: This one is a bit harder to explain because it is up to the viewer's phantasy and how the post story will be interpreted:
It seems that the "sun" died earlier as expected due to the crash with the ship.
= In the end: the World Gov.'s conspiracy plan to gatekeep truth failed because it would be obvious for the humans that there is no more sunlight.
Possible interpretable post story:
- What will happen with the society's stability without a sun?
- If destablisation, could the society get its stability back because of the incoming secondary light (a new sun) which is the light from the window of the higher beeing's laboratory?
Edit: I edited this so much because I found some typos, one after another, it was early morning for me as I wrote this. :)
