Survive on your own for 5 days until rescue arrives, and explore the station where you are stranded.
You are an astronaut, who, after an unfortunate accident, is stranded on Mars with barely any ressources. Can you deal with the hunger and the need for air? Or will you resort to barbaric measures only to survive?
Features:
- Immersive in-your-head ego-controls!
- A moderately-sized station to explore!
- Atmospheric soundtrack, pronouncing the inevitability of death
- Deep puzzles, challenging your wits!
- The largest amount of story I ever put in a game
- Completely unrealistic pixel-y graphics
- A cat in a pivotal role!
There are several possible ways of playing through this, and there is a definite win-condition. Figuring it out is part of the puzzle :-)
Controls:
WSAD - Movement
Mouse-Click - Interact
Arrow-keys - Movement
M - mute sound
Esc - pause
Also available for your convenience: A timelapse-video, and windows- and mac-standalone-files.
Have fun!

//I Got reviewed!
It a really nice piece, actually. Here's the google-translated version
