A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Returning to your ship, The Hesperus, you find they are not answering your hails! Ships logs show detection of an 'unknown spore' - that can't be good.


Armed with a screwdriver and your wits (you didn't think to bring one of the ships laserswords with you on a surveying mission), you must close all the airlocks and decontaminate the ship, deck by deck, being sure not to run out of oxygen as you go.

Gee, I hope those spores didn't affect your crewmates in any negative way! They do all still seem to be alive and moving around...


hjkl yu bn / num pad / arrow keys for movement
. OR numpad 5 - wait a turn

shift + . (which is > on most keyboards) - use hatch
esc - close popup / exit

needless to say this is a "finished" game - I'm proud of what I accomplished, but there's obviously so much to add/ clean up/polish! definitely going to keep working on it past what I could finish in time to submit for the gamejam. shoutout to https://rogueliketutorials.com/tutorials/tcod/v2 for the amazing tutorial that served as the basis for my submission this year. yes there are bugs and yes there are some leftover elements from the tutorial :D I'll leave the gamejam version as is and post a cleaned up version eventually. I'll also post the code somwhere in case people want to build off of it/run it on their mac
