You're sent to explore an abandoned research facility in Antarctica that no country claims to have built. Who knows what's inside? You definitely can't leave until you find out (and your boss would be pissed if you left without going inside).


[Right now this is a (finished) prototype version (with an ending) that has the potential of being expanded into a more fleshed out game (if I have the time and people are interested). If you're interested (or NOT interested) in seeing more of this game, let me know here: https://forms.gle/vh4zwFYNxErpLFUM6.]

My dearest developer, I have encountered a problem: right after I say "I should probably run for the elevator" or something, it gives me this screen:


I've tried pressing F5 (which on my laptop is also the mic button for some reason), but nothing happens. I've tried the game three times, all in web browser and on Harder difficulty, but always end up with this page in the same place (right after I meet the Gray Person and decide to run).

Any clue what's going on?? Is this part of the game??

Ah darm it. Not entirely sure why it's happening :/ I'll see if I can figure it out.

okok, take your time!

This happens right after the prompt to run? Does it pull up the save menu to let you save?

Nevermind, I tested it for myself and it does not.

Ok so it's not just an issue on my end...?

Nope, it was broken on every download as well as the browser, which I somehow didn't catch before uploading 🥲 works now!

Fixed! :)

the gray guy is too fast or is that on purpose (maybe it's my skill issue but idk)

There is a way to beat him as long as you can touch the elevator before he touches you! It's possible I might have made it too hard because I was so used to the room layout that it was easy for me 😅

There's a new difficulty setting just for you ðŸ˜‹

REALLY? YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LMFAOO

Unfortunately, the top door where the electrical box is is broken, where it says "go through" and "nevermind". You can't get back into the main room once that triggers, you just get stuck in the dialogue

The bug has been fixed; all download versions + the web version of the game have been updated :)
