CONTROLS: WASD for walking, space for jumping and E for interaction.
Have you ever known what it feels like to be "stuck in a loop" doing the same menial tasks while on a mission on the surface of Mars? W-what do you mean no? Well, in that case, this is the perfect game for you! "Areographer" let's you experience just that! Survive 5 chilling days on Mars while managing your oxygen levels and doing tasks!
To be honest, this project didn't turn out how I wanted it to be, but I guess that's part of the Ludum Dare experience, haha. I focused too much on the atmosphere and artwork, and ended up having to cut the majority of gameplay elements. Despite that, I do hope you enjoy this little game.
I like the models and the minimalist UI. Not so much the constant heavy breathing, lol. While I do think you've succeeded at capturing the atmosphere of a monotonous loop of going out, completing a trivial task, and going back in only to repeat the process, you've also succeeded at showing exactly why there aren't many games like this -- it's not exactly engaging or fun. Still, good job on completing your submission in time.

Got a bug with the movement controls after a while, pressing S made my character move right instead of down.
