Trapped inside a little box Strange gadgets around the room seem to have no purpose at all. There is no sound but the ticking clocks and the engine's quite buzzing from back behind the wall.
The small window before him looks into the void. the buttons and controls are blank and give no clues to their function. But as he clicks and flips the panels and begins to grow annoyed, the engine roars to life with a thunderous combustion.
The ship begins to twist and swing around like a spinning top. The moving window shows an unknown landscape. With a crash the craft comes to a screeching stop, and slides along the surface with horrible scrape.
Through long hours of practice he becomes master of his ship. And for all of the long while he curses its design. When he is ready to travel far among the stars. He's sick of that dumb shit.
^ i cant figure out what to do either (maybe there isnt anything heh.. really nice atmosphere and gfx .. dont know why but most unity things and games in general the sensitivity seems sooo high even on my lowest dpi (which i normally use all the time) anyhoot good job man :)
Thank you everyone! howieV: i'm using the default mouse input provided by unity. if it's too high, your OS sensitivity may be too high and your drivers are compensating somehow. try setting your OS cursor speed down! josefnpat: you started the game with your camera upside down. it happens sometimes. moving the mouse vertically can right yourself. i left the camera unconstrained to manage the issue. i could never figure out why it happened to some people.
I love the atmosphere and graphics. Maybe would help if the interactive elements (like buttons) have a mark or something to recognize them. I like the idea and good use of theme, really minimalistic. Well done!
I just wiped a longer comment hitting the back button, so I'll be breif - atmosphere was good, sound design was nice, but the lack of feedback and some hint of what to do killed longevity of the game play and I bailed after 5 minutes of button pushing and watching the lights on the wall to see if something new happened.
I think the last paragraph of the description is a wonderful is a wonderful explanation how you feel once you have figured out how to fly around :D It was an interesting experience, thank you!
Sorry I can't play your game, there's something in the camera movements that makes me feel I'm on a boat and I get sick (well is it a feature??). No worries it did the same to a friend with antichamber. Nice atmosphere though
This game made me love it and hate it, probably not for the reasons you intended.
Supposing you figured out the ship flying controls within about 2 minutes. What then?
I wanted more, but I was pretty convinced there wasn't. Or maybe that was just another level of meta...obscuring the goals too, and not just the interface.
Almost loved it. Wanted to love it. Marks will reflect that. Humor points added for your poem.
This could be interesting but based on the description it seems there is not much to do. The game starting fullsceen, using wasd (qwerty only) instead of the arrow keys, and grabing my mouse pointer thus preventing from doing anything else at the same time, was slightly annoying. Still, nice graphics and atmosphere and seems to suit the theme well.

Seriously though, maybe it's just the linux version, but the mouse and WASD are semi inverted.
Mouse up is up
Mouse down is down
Mouse left is right
Mouse right is left
W is backwards
S is forwards
A is strafe left
D is strafe right
I'm not sure if that was done on purpose, but it drove me nuts. Enough to push some buttons, and call it quits.
