A short, well-written game about surviving, space, and secrets, November 12, 2024

paravaariar, the author of this game, is (in my mind) well-known for literary, high-quality spanish Parser games.

This game uses fi.js, an interactive fiction parser platform for web. It uses a small number of verbs (provided in the ‘manual’) which makes gameplay easier than most parser games.

The background image of the game is a beautiful field of stars. The story of the game is that we have woken unexpectedly early from cryogenic storage on a kind of space station. We need to explore to understand what’s going on, but, more importantly, to understand ourselves.

The game is compact, both in design and in story. In the game, a repeated idea is that there is no room for wasted space, and nothing is wasted in this game.

I think the main idea could have supported a longer gameplay, but I think the game as it exists is well-done and very poetic and literary.
