A short game about waking from cryosleep, August 6, 2024

This game has a classic setup: you awake, disoriented, from a cryopod, alone on a starship. It’s been used dozens or hundreds of times before, but I always enjoy it.

You meet your ship and have the chance to walk around and exam things. The game isn’t too long, but I liked the writing and the two characters.

There are at least two endings. I liked one of the ones I got. I think one thing the game does well is its focus on sensations, including touch and sight. The descriptions are vivid.

All that said, the game is brief and doesn’t have a lot of time to develop emotional momentum, although it does well with what it has.
