This is a game about a soviet cosmonaut that loses contact with the Motherland. The story was greatly inspired by Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A space odyssey" and the related song by David Bowie "Space Oddity". My objective was to create something with a very immersive atmosphere, clearly going for the "Mood" score.

Edit 28/04: "Fixed" the game by adding "Press D to skip dialog" and repeating the instructions below the game's canvas, so that people don't think they are stuck when they can't pass through the dialog.

Edit 28/04 #2: I just discovered it isn't playable in Firefox! Please use Chrome while I try to solve this bug.

Edit 28/04 #3: I solved the Firefox bug. You can now play it on Firefox.

Edit 29/04: My free host at 000webhost.com is blocked by AT&T. The great prophet Jiggawatt had warned us of the evils of businessman foolgarbage. Therefore I uploaded the game in another free host, and changed the entry's link. I hope this host will be more successful than the last.

Edit 29/04 #2: Reverted to previous hosting due to bit.ly's businessman foolgarbage thinking all freely hosted sites are evil.

Edit 29/04 #3: Now hosting the game with Google Drive. Hosting is hell.

Edit 02/05: Check out the post-partum (not post-mortem for my game will live on) at http://gameprogrammersnotebook.blogspot.com/2014/05/my-games-ground-control-to-major.html
