Description:
Hailing All Frequencies
Beware space travellers! Surviving aboard the Tin Can is no trivial
matter. Without a good look at the systems surrounding you, your
onboard manual and patience, the only thing awaiting you is a cold
(or hot) cosmic death.
Consider yourselves warned. Good luck!
"In space, tech support can't hear you scream!"
Get your hands dirty!
"What a mess! The oxygen generator refuses to start up...I hope
it's just the fuse cutting down the power and not some kind of
issue with the atomic pile!"
• All the systems inside your escape pod are made up of many
different components, from fuses to air filters. They are all
interconnected and have their own critical function.
Listen to your body!
"My vision has been blurry for a while now and it's getting worse!
I really need to find that leak before I pass out!"
• When all your systems are failing, in the dark, only the sound
of your heartbeat and your shallow breathing will alert you of your
imminent death. O², CO², atmospheric pressure, and temperature are
realistically simulated for maximum immersion.
Your life hangs by a thread...don't lose focus!
"These incomprehensible error codes again!? Where is the damn
manual? This pod’s a mess! Ah! Here it is!"
• The manual inside your pod is filled with detailed information
that could very well save your life.
Plan ahead!
"What a view! Is it me or it is getting hot in here, though?"
• From asteroid fields to nebulae, these cosmic monsters will
wreak havoc on your systems and won’t give you a lot of time to
breathe...
Good luck!
Strong Points
• Manage pod systems down to every single component.
• Numerous systems which all have their own unique function and
serve to ensure your survival. Every system is interconnected, from
the oxygen generator to the emergency lights.
• Over a dozen different components, all having their own
specific function and causing different problems when damaged. Ex :
Defective buttons won’t trigger properly when pressed, while faulty
electrical connectors won’t deliver enough power.
• Organic failures thanks to the simulated nature of resources
and components inside the game. You will have to figure out what is
wrong and retrace failures back to the source.
• Dismantle, swap and fix anything inside the pod.
• Realistic management of vital resources, such as oxygen, carbon
dioxide, temperature and radiation. There are no arbitrary numbers
here. The levels of these resources required for survival are based
on real life!
• An onboard manual providing detailed information about your
escape pod.
• Real medical symptoms instead of health bars. For example,
hypoxia (lack of oxygen) will make you breathe faster and stronger,
will make your vision blurry and will slow down your movements
until you fall unconscious.
• Cosmic events will strike your pod and will have different
types of impact on its systems. From flying near the surface of a
star that will cause overheating to asteroid fields that will
pierce your hull, you need to anticipate and deal with the
situations as they come to avoid certain death.
Background:
As a random member of your colony's space program, you leave Mars
aboard a large transport ship, only for its reactor to go critical
in the middle of your journey to new horizons. All your time spent
in the simulator did not prepare you for such a dire situation!
Now, drifting in your escape pod, without any FTL capabilities, you
realize that an easy way out was not included. Use your own wits to
fix systems in a similar way you would fix and build your own PC,
by swapping and fixing individual components. With a bit of luck,
you might be able to finally find a safe haven.
