Awesome atmosphere, it gave me little outer wilds (dlc) and obra dinn vibes! I forgot to breath while trying to decode the enigma, glad I solved it

Liked the simple yet effective graphics, polished UI and the way the music kicks in right at the end.

The game is cool but the green fog is too thick

Like your game so much! Especially these low poly models and sounds, which create a mysterious and adventurous environment . Maybe you can add more gameplay into it!Perhaps the lidar gameplay used in my game Sonar could be given a try?(NOT Ads😆)

Loved about 99% of it. The core gameplay of searching for clues was nice and well executed. The ending for me felt a little rushed and I wanted to know what brought the ship down. Loved the atmosphere, loved the music. All in all a very fun experience!

@kawair Thanks for giving it a try and I'm glad you liked it! I'll check out your sonar game as well :D

@balimaarthebassfish Thanks for the kind words and for giving it a try! The ending was a little rushed, if I'm honest. I kind of ran out of time and had to take the route of keeping the story vague. But I would have loved to expand upon what exactly happened to the ship and what the crew found here. I might update the game after the rating period had ended with some more explorables that add to the story. If you're interested (and a bit of a spoiler), the 'matter' that the crew found turned out to be contagious and it slowly infected all the crewmates until they were unable to operate the ship and it crashed. This is also why the final matter sample you find has the same glowy effect as the people on the ship. Thanks for your feedback!

I liked the puzzle, not too hard, not too obvious!
