Synopsis

Plot

When you come to your senses, you realise that the alarm is beeping loudly. Everything seems out of focus and a sense of impending danger looms upon you. The airlock door is leaking, so you'd better get out of here as soon as possible.

As you explore your surroundings, things start to get weirder and weirder and you start to question your sanity. Should you try to escape or are you falling to pieces?

Notes

This was an entry in PunyJam #3, where it placed 5th out of 9 entries. Under the rules of the jam, the game had to start at or in an airlock. This one starts in a decompression chamber with a leaking airlock.

The game uses inspiration from Batman. For example, Arkham is a reference to Arkham Asylum in Gotham City, the unnamed player character is The Joker and the bat in the dark cave is a reference to the Bat Cave.
