In a galaxy far far away. A ship sailing across has lost contact with VOSS. Your goal: Find out what happened.

Using your scanner, carefully explore the ship and find out.

Careful, if you use it too much, you may see some unforseen consequences.
P.S. Download the fixed versions, I forgot to fix the score counter and there is no option to remove old builds. Sorry:(
Also, I though it was 24 hours for the main jam, turns out I just finished a compo. whoops.

Has a feeling of playing an old shareware off an unlabeled floppy disk. No idea what to do but walking around and trying things out is fun for a time. One thing I'm not quite sure about... Am I meant to interact with the papers(?) on the ground?

This game has potential, though the vents(? because they trigger a room preview) look a lot like papers except they don't have an outline, and some of the room previews seem to be stuck until I enter the room properly and then exit it. Otherwise a good sense of mystery, congrats on your first compo!

The basic mechanic is there though I wish I could interact with papers or other non door objects to investigate.
