Please Do Not Panic
About
This story was made for Scream Seas, the theme was adrift. I was inspired by "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers, one of my favourite books. In it, there is a mode of transport where people use a very small trip and wormholes to travel. I thought it would be interesting to explore what would happen if that trip went wrong.
It's very much not a "Jump Scare" horror, it's much more a "That's such a bad situation" horror. A sadder horror?
I didn't have as much time as I would have liked for this, so while the story is OK, I would have liked to add more to the presentation. I was able to use shaders, but I couldn't get rid of the jagged lines the shaders produced!
