Bugs & Workarounds

• If your mouse isn't captured (e.g. if you go onto another tab and then come back to the game), pressing backspace should recapture it (or bring up the menu, then you can click play)

About

With your spaceship broken, you're forced to explore a foreign place to find new parts. Can you salvage what you need and, most importantly, get home in time for dinner?

The game might take a little while to load on web.

If you get stuck, try using the camera to find items that might be useful.

Controls

• Move: WASD or arrow keys
• Interact with object: E
• Open/close menu: Backspace
• Skip cutscene: Spacebar

Unlocked later on in the game:

• Take Picture: Q
• Attack: Left / Right Mouse or T
• Lower hands (if holding items): H

Recommendations

• I recommend playing with headphones for the best experience.
• I suspect the downloaded builds will run better and have less shader issues, but I haven't really tested this. It also makes the mouse capture more reliable.
• Sometimes the text is hard to read; there is a setting in the menu to add a black background to all textboxes.
• If you find the static and vignette annoying, you can turn off the CRT shader in the main menu

Misc

• In previous builds sometimes the shaders don't load. If the game doesn't look like the screenshots (e.g. if the walls are all grey and you can't see anything) then try reloading the page.
• On linux, the window options sometimes take multiple attempts to set them correctly
• There is a small stutter in the 2nd level that happens on web, but it doesn't look to break anything
