The Game

In a laboratory deep underground, an earthquake causes a Warp Corp. brand Warp Core to go hyper critical. Now the entire laboratory is stuck in a time loop, constantly reversing time to just after the earthquake! Can you make it out the laboratory before the entire thing comes crashing down on your head, and can you save all the survivors trapped around the facility? Death certainly isn't a problem!

A topdown puzzle game where you must find the exit and escape. This game is pretty difficult and requires the player to die multiple times in order to gather enough information to make their escape. Information gathered in a life will be kept over death and is viewable in the log, so die as much as you need!

Aim of the Game

- Find the exit and escape before the building collapses.
- Try to rescue all 8 survivors.
- (Note) You do not have to rescue anybody nor do you have to escape on your first try, you do however get a better rank for saving more people and finishing in a quicker time.

How to play

General Controls:
- 'WASD' for general movement.
- '1' and '2' to select the item slots, or alternatively click on the slots with the mouse.
- 'Left Mouse Button' to pickup items. (Make sure the items are highlighted by standing over them)
- 'Either Mouse Button' to use selected item on an interactable object when highlighted.
- 'R' to drop selected item.
- 'Escape' button to pause and unpause. Warning, in the pause menu pressing 'Restart' will completely start the game over and wipe the log.

General Information:
- Certain obstacles will block your path, and are highlighted when you go close to them. In order to clear them you will need to find the appropriate tool and use it when the obstacle is highlighted.
- Rubble piles require a shovel to clear, jammed doors require a crowbar to open, key card doors require the correct colored key card to open (color is shown on top of door pannel), electric fields require wire cutters to shut the power off and vents require a screwdriver to open.
- To rescue survivors, simply tag them by running into them. They will try to keep up, but don't worry if they get stuck as they will make it out when you go to the exit.
- To escape, find the exit and climb the stairs.
- Item and survivor locations along with other information is kept in the log and is maintained over death. Spend some time building up your knowledge of the facility and the location of items before going for the escaping run.
- As well as the log make sure to use the map to better understand the layout of the facility.
- Both the log and the map are accessible by clicking on their corresponding buttons on the right hand side. An exclamation mark will appear next to the log button when a new entry is made into it.
- You get a better rank the faster you are, and for the more survivors you save. Try going for a quick no survivors run, or a full rescue run!
