WARNING: This story contains swearing, descriptions of death/suicide, and a little smidge of existential dread.
A short text game with multiple endings where you explore the story of Sergeant, a member of the IORATA; a research/survey vessel and a last-ditch effort to overcome an equally inevitable and unexplainable extinction event.
Estimated length: 2k-4k words per run depending on your choices. The additional text document contains optional lore if anyone's interested. Please let me know if there are any issues, I'd like to keep working on this and make it feel a lot more fleshed out. Any and all feedback is welcome.

This game had a very interesting sci-fi premise with the whole end of the Universe/of life concept and last effort for hope, clashing with a more blasé outlook of living for the moment while you can, because humanity is doomed anyway. Though it is set in a far future, with a probably impossible setting, the tech doesn't feel too far-fetched and complicated to grasp.
The fast pace start hooks pretty quickly, feeling that anxiety and weight of the importance of the mission. It slows down from the middle point, where you get more concrete exposition* and a sense of dread from the state of your ship and the crew. This culminates to the big choice: continue your mission or give up.
*More lore is available on the game page, as a feelies (downloadable extra).
