Do you sacrifice your family and furniture to survive?

About game:

My 5th LD entry. Your task is simple, survive in post nuclear war shelter. You and your family must survive, radioactive fallout in your shelter. Air filter are limited, fuel for steam generator is also limited. So after few days somebody froze to death and you will must solve that.

Out of time

(48 hour is not much, but I not want submit in JAM):
* Characters animations
* Working hazmat suits
* Much more furniture
* Expeditions for fuel
* Sleeping and foods needs
* Better ending

How to play ?

- Keep boiler filled with fuel
- Fix air filter on surface when it broke
- Keep warm whole family
- When somebody die game not end, but when you die, game over
- Keep eye on UI, check characters health, air filter condition etc.

How fix filter ?

Controlls

- Right - D or Right arrow key
- Left - A or Left arrow key
- Switch character - Q
- Action/pick up - E or spacebar

Game has good ending but you must play, at least 15 minutes :) (Very interesting ending with exaplanation of that red light)

Changelog

- Few hours after COMPO ends I fixed not working pickable items, and enable disabled splash screen and final clean up of tons of test images from repository.
3.12 - Fix not working air filter (not killing players), add more fuel into furniture, because game cant be finished. Lock hazmat suits

nice game, whole family died though after running out of fuel. Couldn't find the key

Really cool atmosphere and great idea overall. I didn't quite understand how it fit the theme unfortunately, but I really enjoyed it none the less. Good job!

@enver-arco Key is hidden very well :) Its not core gameplay, so if you not find it, its not problem. Key is easter egg.
@relictooth Thank you. You must sucriface you family and all things in shelter for survival :)

Now that's a cruel game! The key easter egg was a nice touch. I've sacrificed everyone and everything! I'm evil...
Interesting and clean art style.

Actually the game looks strangely familiar to me. It reminds me of Sheltered which you can find on Steam :)

Great game. I love the art style and the sound effects!

I like the art a lot, simple and clean! I thought this was really well done and had good gameplay.

Cool! Very nice atmosphere, especially graphics- and audio-wise. I liked that going outside (and freezing) were neither insta-death conditions (although I only realized the latter too late and ended up spending my fuel unoptimally and thus losing.) There could've been more dangerous things to do, because as it was I could keep everyone at pretty good health since fixing the filter didn't require much. Similarly, the "set a character in motion while you control another" -style control wasn't really necessary, although I'm somewhat glad this was the case because utilizing it was a bit fiddly. Using a ladder while moving made the character float through the air (and floors), which broke immersion a bit. Still, really inspiring in concept and very nicely realized! (Can you find the key to the hazmat suits? I hoped it'd be behind the books or in the coal pile.)

It's ok, but a bit repetitive. I expected a bit more gameplay. Visual style is nice :-)

Derek Volker11 Dec 2018, 09:33

Props for making such a game in 48 hours. I can only imagine what you have been through.

The graphics are simple but nicely done, and i expected way less options and gameplay mechanics that it offers, which was a good surprise. Its mechanics make the sacrifice theme evident, and the audio completes the atmosphere.

Great job. Congrats!

OOH WEE! This Compo Game is a delight! I love the atmosphere you were able to create and thoroughly enjoyed my inevitable death! Thanks :D

Amazing atmosphere and perfect use of sound! Impressive what you managed to get done in just 48 hours! Here's how my playthough went, if you're curious:
