Holy moly, incredibly creepy vibes! The usage of lighting was excellent, not just to for painting the spooky atmosphere but also how the lamps help guide the player. Each text log just got me more invested into pushing further to see what happened to the people who came before: am I understanding right that the captain of Expedition Alpha got turned into Marygold, and the other captain became Yazmody?

Perfectly nailed the feeling of a derelict space station that feels haunted, from the moment I picked up that first keycard I felt trepidation deep in my bones. The ending, perfectly haunting how it happens right as you're trying to grasp what you're looking at. The movement of the ship is great, it reminds me of the old school Descent PC game, especially how you could move above top speed by strafing and rising/lowering the ship at the same time. Really loved my time with this one, this will stick with me for a while purely for those spooky vibes ~

Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, you're right with the characters, I wanted to keep it somewhat ambiguous what happened and hopefully it wasn't too vague.

Wow! What an incredibly beautiful game! I love the atmosphere you’ve created and especially all the little details like the bubbles on moving objects. The level of polish and professionalism on display is truly spectacular!

Killer atmosphere.  Literally every single component, every choice contributes perfectly to the mood and sense of space.  So well done!

I’m a fan of exploration in an unsettling unknown. Smooth camera without making me feel dizzy.

I can't imagine how hard it must have been to design a space so big but keep it feeling navigable. You nailed the derelict space station atmosphere.

Thank you, I still feel like I could have gone further in a few areas like greebling or some sort of procedural dressing but I'm happy with the end result.

The environmental design and general visual style are expertly executed. I always love the way your games look, but I think you brought it to a new level this time.

Suuuuuch a vibey game. I'm  a sucker for exploring abandoned structures in games (and irl) so this was a treat. I think you did a great job keeping the level design intuitive enough that I could feel lost yet somehow still being on the right track. Now get this in VR and I'll never come out.

Masterful environment and level design on show here. Despite it being such a large and maze-like space the points of interest are placed and marked well enough that I never felt lost for long. I was captivated the whole way through.

Glad you enjoyed it, wasnt sure if ppl would have issues with getting lost, trying to always stay oriented in the same direction helps a lot with that.
