Spent the entire morning throwing random ideas at my whiteboard until none of them stick and managed to narrow it down to two things: - You are stranded in an abandoned house/laboratory, and you can't move away from light sources in the game. It's akin to a horror game; if you venture into the darkness, you get eaten alive either instantly or very quickly. The objective of the game is to figure out how to position lights, move them around, and use mirrors (although I won't be able to make mirrors work in two days). Your goal is to escape from the building/laboratory you are in.

• You are captaining a spaceship that travels from point A to point B. The spaceship has a limited number of device slots, including solar panels, a shield generator, a battery, boosters, and a navigation module, among others. You need to replace these devices on the fly. For instance, when you encounter an asteroid field, you must activate shields to deflect the asteroids. If you veer off course, you need to install navigation modules to get back on track.

Ended up going for the spaceship one because it needs less animations, and reading about raytracing every light source got me a headache.
