Game Jam Project

This game was created as a collaborative effort during a game jam, showcasing the power of teamwork and creative constraints.

The tight development timeline resulted in a focused, intense experience that doesn't waste a single moment.

Every element serves the core theme of isolation and responsibility in the vast emptiness of space.

THE ATMOSPHERE

In the cold vacuum of space, your tiny vessel is a fragile bubble of life and warmth. The nuclear reactor that powers your ship is both your salvation and your potential doom.

Every beep, every flashing light, every slight change in the reactor's hum could signal the beginning of the end. The responsibility weighs heavily on your shoulders.

You are alone. You are responsible. You are running out of time.
