every beat had me grinning and holding my mouse all that much tighter. absolutely loved the amount of darkness - felt like i was all alone with the screens, super claustrophobic
Out of curiosity, are there any intentions of releasing this onto Steam? Would be nice to have both it and Reactor on the same place (the latter we obviously have via Dread X)
Also, odd question, but any chance of getting a better look at the alien's design? Looks very Xenomorph-esque from the bits we see of it, but would be cool to see the full thing.
I finally got around to playing this, and was blown away, really! Story beats were understandably a bit compressed, but it was a very well-executed experience. I thought the visual style meshed well with the tone, and the sound design was effective, as well, working overtime to build tension. Really just outstanding.
Dude, this game was amazing! More terrifying and better paced than most horror games I've played in a while! I also loved the layout of the station, and the fact that looking out the window gives you rotational vertigo! Awesome! Even triple A games these days don't have the same sense of atmosphere! Loved every bit of it! Please do more!
Jedna od boljih igrica kojih sam igrao, grafički odlična, te i sama priča, nisam očekivao ovakvu dobru igricu, svaka čast i nadam se daljnim igrica točno poput ove!
Played this as part of the Racial Justice Bundle. This game is absolutely outstanding; what Return of the Obra Dinn did with an Apple II visual style, STOWAWAY does with the Commodore 64, except also with 8 bit audio that I could easily imagine playing through a SID chip. Maybe Project Firestart was an influence here?
Had my heart beating out of my chest at points. Most characters only had a few lines, but I found myself somehow caring for them even though I barely knew them.
Will definitely look into further work by Dirigo Games.
I didn't comment anything a few months ago when I played this, but bravo! This is easily one of the best games I've played in years. I especially love the unique visual style and sparing usage of colour.
It is quite rare when I feel 100% of my time was well spent on a game and this game achieves it. I like how there's no map but you can go around with minimal effort thanks to great map design and in game signs. Love the art style, love the atmosphere, its an easy 5 star for me. Well done I'm curious to see what else you will come up with!

Nice design!The only thing that bothered me was the darkness..I think it should be little more bright!
7 years old, think the image quality is fading over time :)
That was a fun experience; the crew members were askin for it tbh
Just played this on stream, from an avid horror game player this game is dope and i'm excited to see more from yall. love the art

Hey there DirigoGames, I was wondering if your game was put up as some unauthorized party selling someone your game.

I really loved your game and I saw it up there and something looks, off ?
Thought i'd let you know ! I don't like some big company ripping of indie devs.
I wasn't too sure.
Loved this game <3
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, it's been stolen.
Absolutely ! It just did not look right.
Happy to have point it out !
I really hope there's something that can be done.
If there's anything that can be done to take it down, let me know.
This was a better Alien game than any existing Alien games.

Okay I absolutely loved this game. :D <3
Very good game!
Level design is clean and I loved the artstyle, the story is interesting too :)
Cheers from Brazil!

Had never heard of Project Firestart until now, thanks for mentioning it, something I want to check out :) Thanks!

Thanks ! ! ! :)
I think it's too short to cost money but that's just my opinion
Fair enough. Reduced the price from 1.00 to free. Enjoy :)
Have five bucks bro, love your stuff.
Thanks! It's gone into the production of KINGDOM of the DEAD. :)
Just played through this and it was great! Great visuals and atmosphere, very fun and well paced
Thanks! :)
Awesome, thanks! :)
