8 itemsAbout the Game
SIGNAL LOST is an anxiety driven multitasking game about surviving in an escape pod in space after your cargo ship has been destroyed. As a spacer, ensure your survival by repairing systems and completing tasks for the escape pod, buying just enough time to reach Venus' human colony, Omphalos-1.
In Signal Lost you will...
Perform tasks and repairs in a constant struggle where time is against you.
Manage deep, tactile dashboards and screens by typing or tweaking monitors.
Dodge meteors and get hit by solar flares as you boost across space to reach the mining colony.
Immerse yourself in the role of a doomed astronaut, trying to survive in the vastness of space.
Experience a grim but uplifting narrative about the indomitable human spirit surviving in an inhospitable, deadly universe.
GAMEPLAY
In a constant battle of "Man VS Machine", maintain your escape pod in working condition and complete tasks by typing on the command terminal as you travel through space to reach Venus. However, you'll be required to react fast to system failures and malfunctions to keep everything running and survive your journey as time-critical events take place.
The Captain will provide more information regarding your mission as you progress further and further in your journey. His company in your cold escape pod may not seem like much, but it's better than being completely alone.
You will be required to multitask, be patient and efficient, but above all you must be brave.
FEATURES
DASHBOARD MULTITASKING - Managing the ship's interfaces is an intricate balance, as something always blows up in your face. You must walk a tightrope of completing tasks in time while repairing systems to ensure you keep breathing for just a few more seconds.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS - The more you delay, the more repairs that will pile up and create problems for you and your escape pod. Broken systems means a lot of warning sounds and red monitors. Eventually, it will also mean your death.
WILL YOU REACH VENUS? - Your ultimate objective, the reason you are doing everything for. Venus was your destination before your ship feel apart, and now you continue to drift there in the escape pod. Hopefully, you will manage to make it.
STORY
Your ship, “Dear Abigail,” suffers a catastrophic failure and falls apart halfway to Venus past the point of no return. You and your Captain are the only survivors, stuck inside a pair of barely-maintained escape vessels. Will you manage to reach the relative safety of Venus and the base of Omphalos-1…or will you die trying?
