Solar Flare [o2a2]

Stranded on a distant planet...

Can you trust the stranger who found you?

A short visual novel made in one week for O2A2 Jam 2022 with:

999 words, 5 endings and much peril.

For the next update: accessibility and web version, hopefully!

Future updates: I might expand into a bigger game later as I cut a lot out...

O2A2's basic restrictions are:

• one sprite
• one background
  
• one thousand words
• one soundtrack
• plus in-engine effects 

Content warnings: sci-fi peril, no worse than an average TV episode. You are the only survivor but it’s not dwelt on because there wasn't enough wordcount. For detailed content warnings, see end of page.

If you play, please let me know what you think! ❤

This is all plot and no depth, so these topics feature very briefly: Mild ableism, loss of bodily autonomy, loss and grief, existential musings.
