A downloadable game for Windows
Maintain the facility and keep the specimens alive.
Playtime: ~20 minutes
CW (Click to reveal):
Dead bodies implied, no gore, constrained bodies, implied cannibalism, anxiety inducing ambience and music, loneliness.
With no job and no prospects, you're tasked by your annoying and dead uncle to travel to Antartide and maintain his business keeping some "specimens" alive. Who are those specimens it's unclear.
Feed them and power their pod every month to keep them alive.
Ration food for yourself and power the facility every month to stay alive.
