This idea is so cool man, the voice over radio distortion, the mood of the game, the mechanics, all good work. That second fall made me jump.

Great entry, a lot of nice little details with the gravity, physics and interactions. Nice voice acting and an immersive story. Great graphics and the audio fitted everything well.

This is a fantastic effort! The music is most excellent. The tone is set right away and it gets really interesting. I only wish that the text would stay up because I didn't fully understand what to do at first and had to go back so I could look for clues aha. Grats for the team, keep it up!

Holy hell, good job reaching such a level of polish during the jam. It's not a very long experience, but what it does, it does very well. The environment looks great, the voice acting is top-notch, the puzzles are neat, and somehow it's all even packaged up nicely with a title screen, intro sequence and credits. I'm very impressed!

Very polished game. Good work on the voice acting work as well, don't see this often in Jam games.
Well done!

I legit got a jump scare every time the ship dropped. Love this though, gives me vibes similar to I Expect you to Die, there's just something very tactile about interacting with objects in such a close proximity

I like the stelistics of the game and I am excited that in such a short time you were able to make good 3d graphics

Excellent game! I really DIG the aesthetic and the voice acting was stellar 5/5 for Audio because of that. I had a bit of trouble with the colors... being colorblind and all, but other wise amazing game! Really scary bits through out the whole game, spooky stuff. Congrats on the game jam! Noticed some of the characters mentioned were the devs themselves and that was pretty funny! Having a couple sections where you go back to valve and stuff would be great for padding some gameplay but it's hard to pull of during a game jam.

Graphics were really good! Loved how the props would float when free-falling. Great level of detail and polish, really impressive!

I couldn't figure out this dumb encryption key puzzle, I's look too much like 1's and the phone thing is too far away for me to read what letters are on it if that's supposed to be the puzzle, other than that's it's pretty ok.

@msipp27 you may want to consider maximizing the game. Also the appearance of 1s and Is is purposeful. Since one is a letter and the other is a number, it should not take long to figure out. It's intended to confuse, but it does not require trial and error, just some careful attention.

This was a fantastic example of how much intrigue and tension you can build using a limited palette. The scene is well built and the effects made my stomach drop *every* time. I also really enjoyed the minigames. They were all simple enough to do without being frustrating and they felt convoluted enough to fit the "operating a shuttle" theme. Also, the parallaxing in the menu is a very nice touch. Excellent work!

I'm thankful there was no jump scare at the end xD Nice game, it works pretty well but you need to play it fullscreen, otherwise the mouse will get out of the game. Also, could use a sound guy on the project, the effects are ok and the music is cool, but always better to have something done to the game. Anyway, great job!

I think the is the only game I've played so far that has a cutscene! Great 3D environment and the radio puzzle was pretty tricky. Sound design well well done too. Really nice job!!

This game is the proof that there is no need of complicated gameplay to have a tense and immersive game. The minigames was just difficult enough to keep me in the mood, and the effects was very… Effective.
Very well done!
