A downloadable game for Windows

Before you play

This game is rough, and I’m sorry about that. I started late and spent the whole weekend trying to finish it, so you will find unpolished visuals, some bugs and a few ideas that never made it in. What’s here works, the puzzles are playable, and I’m proud that it got finished. If you give it a chance, thank you. It means a lot.

The story

The power is failing, and tonight you decide what survives.

You run a restaurant in orbit high above the Earth, and its systems are going offline one by one. There is only so much power to go around, so every switch you flip is a trade-off.

Keep the gravity on and the plates stay on the tables. Keep the oxygen on and you stay alive. Keep the lights on and your guests stay happy. You can’t have everything.

Turn off gravity and everything starts to float, including you. Cut the oxygen for too long and it’s over. Leave the lights off and the guests grow unhappy, and if their satisfaction hits zero, the night is ruined.

Solve the puzzles in each room, spend your power wisely and make it to the end.

Controls

W A S D to move
Mouse to look around
Left Click to pick up and carry boxes
E to interact
Tab to open the tablet and manage the station’s systems

The tablet is the heart of the game. Every system you turn on or off changes how much power you have left, so check it often.

Tips

Put boxes on pressure plates to open doors, and connect cables from triggers to the things they control. Platforms are moved from the tablet. Remember that pressure plates stop working when gravity is off.
