About the Game

Take on the role of a megabuilding supervisor, tasked with maintaining power, heat, and food supply to the inhabitants residing there. Be strategic with upgrades and expansions to avoid getting in over your head and losing it all..

The main heating system has gas level, charge, fill speed, and fuse integrity that can all be upgraded to hold more and be more efficient. The system can also be set to run idle with the use of the Thermostat switch!! Just be aware of the fuse integrity before you walk away for too long!

Excess power can be used to send VENTBA out in the search for food and valuables. Valuables found give more money to purchase upgrades to the heating system and housing.

-Each expedition generates a unique vent system with multiple rooms for Ventba to navigate!

-During expeditions, Ventba will sometimes find temporary run upgrades to protect from damage and extend the journey length, giving a bit of roguelike depth to the adventures, with more upgrades being thought up and made as I develop the game!

-Get closer to Ventba and she may reveal more about the origins of this megastructure and the ones who made her.

Contains atmospheric and dark sound design for immersion in the building and its machines/environment, with a full backing soundtrack that is being expanded.
