DON'T READ CHAT

A story-driven space horror where you stream yourself exploring an abandoned spaceship. Don't read chat.

Starring: El Delnova as VERA    •    Directed by: Nat Delnova

Dear Fellow Pirates,

So far, there are two endings to explore. Halfway through I got inspired to implement a crazy, mind-bending twist to the game that adds a couple new endings. Unfortunately I didn't get time to implement it in time for the jam (the V.O. took priority). It's nearly done though! I'll be releasing a massive addition to Steam in the coming weeks.

If you enjoyed this jam entry, I would be forever so grateful if you could click here to get notified when it's out!

Thanks for playing, truly.

Sincerely,
Nat & El

WE BROKE INTO AN ABANDONED SPACESHIP (gone wrong)

Fifteen years ago, the luxury liner LUX-13 took a group of wealthy tourists too close to a black hole and never came back. Last week, it reappeared at the edge of known space like nothing happened.

We're going in.

My co-host is on the Cairn keeping comms and chat running while I explore. You guys have been asking for this ever since the ship showed up on long-range scanners, so here we go.

It's way worse than we expected. The crew left warnings scratched into the walls. There are bodies. And there's something growing in here that I swear is watching me.

Chat's going crazy. My co-host says she's right there with me, just keep going.

Let's see what's inside.

If you enjoyed this game, you might like to check out my studio's debut, Tallest Tale. Take the stage as a spell-slinging bard! Arrange spells on a musical loop, wow the crowd with a Guitar Hero style whammy mode, and survive waves of enemies. Each spell interacts with every other spell in a unique way, with hundreds of unique combos to explore. There's mini-bosses, main bosses, a bunch of different events, and a 3 day epic tale for you to tell. Made with love by gamers who are obsessed with survivors-likes.

Originally built for the GMTK game jam last year, showcased at PAX AUS 25, and now ready to join this year's Steam Next Fest.

Wishlists are free and they help more than you know!
