The story seemed like it was off to a good start, but it ends abruptly as noted. Game-wise it's obviously incomplete, but engine-wise it seems pretty solid other than some noticeable slowdowns in certain areas.

Couldn't get it running, windows 7 x64.

Was not able to get it working, Windos 7 64 bit.

Thanks for the comments! I'm not sure what the issue with running it could be. I've run it on 64-bit installs of Windows 7 on both ATI (only with VS installed) and NVIDIA cards (with and without VS installed).

Game works for me (though when I played it all the tiles had red outlines; they don't in your screenshot, so I presume this is a bug?). The dialogue and description in the game is suitably enticing, making it somewhat disappointing that the Complex is completely empty. It would be a shame if you never end up finishing this game.

Can't get it running.

It seems to be very difficult to finish an adventure game like this in 48h. What you achevied is already great, and the beginning of your story is attracting

Runs fine for me on - Win 7 64 bit... I cut my pew... cute =)

Well for me the game also is ugly. Red outlines and bad graphics. But it told me that it was not able to load the OpenGL stuff, so maybe that is the case.
When the complex started for a second there I had the feeling being in one of the dungeons of Might and Magic, so nice point on that. This could be a nice game with more animation, a plot and more stuff to do. Just wading through the dungeon with this slow scrolling became tedious.
And because your theme was well done, i felt kinda disappointed finding out that there is nothing to the complex at all.

Nice done though. Would have loved to see a timelapse on that, some more community stuff going.

It's an interesting start and it looks like you planned for quite a bit more.
The more it's sad to see it uncompleted like this. It crashed on exiting (pure virtual call or somesuch).
