Take control of an alien abductee as you try to escape from the confines of an alien spaceship. This would be hard enough without the tranquilizers they keep you pumped full of. Every time you wake up, you have but 30 seconds to make a break for it before the drugs kick back in. You can explore your memory of the ship in between runs to learn more about your captors and plan your next escape attempt. Use the items scattered about the ship to aid in your escape, and overcome the obstacles how you see fit. Find the key to open the door, turn off the hydraulics and pry the door open, or go around it by crawling through the vent to the next room and smashing the glass door in between. There is no single solution to any problem.

This is a wonderful concept, I've not really seen it before. I didn't have too long to play the demo, but it was enjoyable for the short while I could, the music was pretty nice too, and the visuals work well. Good work, I'm definitely gonna play it again later!

Hello. I really liked playing this demo. I did find a couple of issues though, which are mostly my fault. I spent over 2 hours playing and didn't get too far until I quit and restarted and checked the controls - oops there was more than one page! I didn't realize you could run, so I was doing all I could at walking speed; I just figured it was supposed to be hard. I recommend to include running in the beginning segment for this reason. Without running it's not possible to get the hammer to any useful glass (like the time upgrade). Also, I spent tons of time reading all of the papers around hoping there would be a 'translation device' and find those 4 digit codes to unlock stuff. So far I haven't found anything and I am still looking for the 'third upgrade', it seems there is no pink or blue key cards to unlock other parts of the ship, but I think there is something in the vents maybe. For all I know there is nothing done yet in those areas. But I had a lot of fun exploring it.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I'm still working on a better intro/tutorial to teach the player things like running or the fact that you can set objects down, this reinforces the need for that. There is a translation device planned (and implemented) but it's not currently accessible on the map, same with the key cards for the rest of the ship.

I was able to open the 'secret room' that requires the fuse, however I figure the 'third upgrade' is inside the area with the 0000-9999 keypad and I still have not seen a way to discover a combination in this map (there is no input for it either). Any hints ?

Also on drinking those 2 vials I figured if I drank a 3rd one something would happen, but it's not implemented. Is there any point to them ?

The keycard isn't in an accessible area of the map yet. There is still a way to get it, but it's difficult as it requires navigating that room in the dark so you can get to the door without it being powered up. If a door doesn't have power, you can pry it open with the right type of tool.

As for the vials, they all do something, but the effects are supposed to be ambiguous at first. Eventually there is an upgrade that teaches you what they do.

There are 2 ways to get to the room. One doesn't open the other door. I was able to grab the knife, pry open the locker, get the fuse, install the fuse, pry open the outer door, and explore the room itself (this is pretty hard but possible). It's a bit easier to go through the vent with the knife to pry open the other doorway (esp. once you have the room on map), but there was nothing in there to take that I could tell. At least I had the right location :)

I look forward to your next updates, I think this is a unique game format and it's challenging.
