How does the game fit the theme?
Return home tells the story of an experienced team of astronauts who, for the first time, something went wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Used assets:

Audio and visuals are incredible for 1 week. I sadly got the pause menu ui stuck and couldn’t turn it off but the game would still run.
Good job guys!
Thanks for feedback) We already knows about the problem of escape menu and will fix it after the jam
This is a unique game. I absolutely loved the model of the character in the spacesuit. If you make plushies of that it will sell like hot cakes.
I found the lack of tutorial and keymaps a little confusing, especially in the beginning. I found the dialogues a bit too long with no way to skip a bit frustrating. Lastly, tasks like fixing the space capsule take a bit long, like 30-40 secs?
The face models are stuff of nightmares and I hope you never change that. Other than that, good game & good luck :)
Ha-ha! Thanks for kind words, bub. But i should say: model of the astronaut is an asset from the Asset Store
Nice game, one feedback though that pause menu is not working properly, I wanted to check controls, but I couldn't select control button in pause menu. Also pressing escape again should quit pause menu and return to game.
Other than that great game :)
Haha. Loved the intro with the faces. Reminds me of some older games. I got stuck at fix the capsule mission. I wasn't sure what to do. I wandered around hitting invisible walls. Also walked around the ship and the ship part at the bottom of the map. The settings menu seems to lock up the controls. Love the ambience, story and music. Are there actions that appear when walking up to objects? Sorry, I wasn't sure what to do.
Damn, I really miss the outline effect. It would be much easier to understand what to do with it.
You had to fix your space capsule that you flew to Kronos-9 on, you had to go to it and press the E button. The repair process will begin and after the repair you will be able to move on. Sorry, it's my fault that you didn't know what to do. Thanks for feedback, we will definitely fix everything after the jam
Thanks! That fixed it. Finished the game. Great cut-scenes. I could definitely see text appearing to the user when they get close 'Press E to Activate' or something. Great job.
The atmosphere of this game was definitely well done! Although I am sorry to say I am not sure if I completed the game correctly or not? I fixed a mining drill next to the ship, and thought I saw the "press space to continue" text in the corner. So I pressed it, and everything faded to black and I was brought to an end game screen. The only reason I say it may not have been intentional is because it appeared there was still dialogue playing when that happened, and the text in the corner was bugged a bit. Just mentioning so its on your radar, otherwise well done! It is impressive to be able to have made so many cut scenes in just one week as well. :)
Yes, we already know about the existence of this problem. Thanks for feedback.
Very atmospheric!!
Wow I love the low poly characters (the faces hahaha love it), the super atmospheric music. Curated dialogs and history, pretty detailed for a jam game. The cool lighting and shadows allow to achieve a nice atmosphere.
Some feedback: when I pressed esc, the pause menu appeared, but afterwards I couldn't come back to the gameplay. Also fixing the capsule could be something else than just waiting, or at least could be faster. I found some confusing invisible walls when exploring which I think should not be there.
Besides that, a pretty cool entry, love it!
Cool game! Visuals were sick for a jam!
Im a little bit confused at the start, but its pretty fun game!
I really liked the visuals, theme, and audio.
I wish it had more things to do and a quicker pace.
very nice game the Visuals were great i loved the artstyle
I like the low poly artstyle, as well as the narrative. Great job!
Atmosphere-wise, excellent game. I think a game like this would greatly benefit from some minor voice acting to go along with it
The text at the top left was kinda buggy as the 'Press space to continue' text overlapped, overall it was pretty enjoyable :D
You're right. We are planning to add voice acting. Glad you enjoyed it
Great Game and it was well made but needs a narrator and some guidance and speed up the character
So the game idea is good but at this state didn’t do a lot of things. I like that when I pressed F the flashlight turned on, or when rotating the mouse wheel it zoomed out. I like that you thought about that. The game looks very good and I like the main menu. Anyway keep up the good work!
Cool game. It was a bit slow and there are few bugs but it was put together nicely!
The game was really fun, but more than that, it felt meaningful. I have to say it was also pretty slow. Maybe you could make walking faster or speed up the interactions a bit. I really liked the music and the art since they fit the game very well.
P.S. The pause menu is broken—maybe fix it after the jam?
Yes, of course we will fix it.
I was sure something was coming for me, like coming to get me.... but in the end, nothing was coming to get me....
Fun game the visuals are hilarious.
A very cool game with an interesting story. As others have said, the games pace could be sped up a bit but other than that great work!
