A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The anxieties of life in the 23rd century have lead to a dramatic increase in heart conditions. In response, the company Nebula Corp. has developed a most unusual technology; a surgical operation that allows for a patient's heart to be removed, and a dock installed in its place, allowing for mechanical hearts to be swapped in and out as easily as getting dressed! (And no less improper in public spaces.)

After recovering from the operation, a lone test subject awakes in the bowels of Nebula's flagship research vessel, only to find it twisted beyond recognition. With only the station's computer to guide them, they must find their way through this strange technological labyrinth, and uncover the secrets of what happened while they slumbered...

Loved this! Great game! Fantastic audio! A stand out moment was the music cue when you first see the room full of red glowing machines.

I super appreciated the conservative party joke you slipped in ;)

very good climbing simulator

My heart fell through the floor :(

Great game I hope you keep working on it after the jam.

I was like woooo, they have a crazy story for a jam game?! And then I saw the intro and I was like they have graphics and music?! And then they had a funny and interesting puzzles and cool voice-over (with subtitles)?! And it was a interesting experience and I was getting into it and then it was suddenly over :0.  But yeah deadlines..  Next to that, the high-pitch noises from the screens were unpleasant and I had a visual glitches. But yeah nice, but short.
