I know this is not quite compliant to the rules of Ludum Dare.
First, I didn't code myself, I used Twine http://twinery.org/
Except for some of the simple css-effects I wrote, all the credits go to the awesome people who make that tool!
And then I used a story from the Public Domain (Robert Sheckley 'Warm' (1953) http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/29509 ) and transformed it to a game. Most of the text is from the original story, simply rewritten to second person and present tense. I am fascinated by that story since I read it in my youth and it influenced my view on this universe, this planet, earthlings and all the absurdities your brain has to deal with.
When I read the theme "Beneath the Surface", this story came to my mind immediately. I also wanted to try Twine for a long time. So this is what exists now. Or does it? I hope you have some strange kind of fun ;)
