Become the Loneliest Man in the Universe
Your colleagues are down on the moon while you're in orbit. Alone.
You will die. And you have to take the knowledge you've gained to the next loop. Maybe this time you can save the Apollo Mission.
Move around the the recreation of Command module Columbia from Apollo 11 and solve puzzles to save it from the fall. If only you didn't forget your password again, Michael.
This game is basically an excuse to explore the command modules photo scan, which is cool in itself. It's loosely inspired by best game of all time - Outer Wilds. And I've been playing a lot Blue Prince lately, so there's that.
Post game jam update fixes some bugs and addresses most common problems.

Okay, got there until the emergency code input, but none of the possible codes I can think of worked.
my biggest problem is not knowing where the interactables are. wouldve been cool if they were marked with something like with the light switch. i really tried my best to complete the game but i wasnt able to find how to enable manual navigation. The games visuals are really good as well as the sfx.
Omg that was a tough puzzle. I would NOT have figured out if not for randomly clicking things and finding the 4th location other than the seats lol. I love the atmosphere though.
Really cool stuff! I love the claustrophobic atmosphere of being trapped in this doomed little vessel -- you really nailed it :)
