A short visual novel about a space pirate whose ship has been sent out of the universe through a black hole.


We all participated to the concept of the game and its story.

@Nighten wrote the script and the dialogue, and coded the game on Renpy.

@Lula made most of the graphics.

@Shertigan mostly traducted the game in english but did also participate a little in graphics.

Big thanks to Yiev Cactus for his help on the english traduction!

This was our first Ludum Dare. It was a good experience even if we lost a lot of time on a different conception of the game (we first wanted to make a more interactive version of it on RPG Maker, but we realized we wouldn't have time to finish it), which is the reason why some graphics aren't really polished, there is no sound at all and some mistakes are presents in the script.

To change the language of the game (English or French), just go in the preferences (main menu of the game)

Looks awesome, I really wanted to play this, but I think you forgot to include the English version. I downloaded both windows versions (the one that said "French only" and the one that said "French and English") and both seem to link to the exact same file and didn't have an option to change the language in the settings. Can you please tag me here if you upload the English version so I can play it? thanks!

The first game in this genre that I met on LD. It's cool. But I do not know the language.

Not all of the texts are translated in the English version, but I just pretended that all the characters are Quebecoise and it added to the atmosphere! I loved the art and you used renpy in some very interesting ways, more than I've seen in some much bigger renpy projects! An enjoyable short game, well done!

@matank : Oh my! I downloaded the Windows English version to test and it seems you're right, i'm so sorry about that! I changed the link, there should now have a traduction in the windows version of the game.
But as @stopa says, there are some lines that remained untranslated, i don't know why... I'll try to correct that as fast as possible, as well as correcting some spelling errors that are present in the French script

@wetbox and @zozol : i tagged you so you can play our game in English, thank you!

Thank you all for the feedbacks! I wouldn't have noticed these traduction errors without you!

Un jeu intéressant, on ne voit pas souvent des jeu à scénario en jam.
Je regrette juste l'absence de plus de choix, mais je comprends qu'en 72h ça puisse être difficile à intégrer.
En tout cas bien joué !

Okay! The donwload links now lead to a Itch.io page with (i hope) the definitive jam version of the game! Every sentences are traduced as they should be and spelling-mistakes in the script have been corrected. Sorry for those troubles you've met with the traduction and thanks again for reporting them.

Now only sound is missing. Maybe in a post-jam version?

Liked the atmosphere for the visual novel, and the characters were fun! Wish there were some more interactive choices though. I really liked the animations of the characters during the different scenes (squatting down to search a body, moving around when they meet other characters).

I'm not the targeted audience for these kinda game but i'm pleasantly surprised with this.
Good/great graphics - i dig the style.
Good story telling. simple but effective animations.

I miss sounds/audio/music to keep it more interesting but that might be how the genre usually works or perhaps it was the lack of time.

Overall great job !!!

@matank Thanks for your kind words! The animations took me a lot of time, but I'm happy you appreciate our efforts!

@roidz It really cool from you to test our game, even if you are not use to the genre! Thanks !
Visual Novel usually have sound, some put even a major emphase on it. But we ran out of time at the end of the jam, and we cutted off this part.
