You're a scavenger for your hive, searching the ashen wastes for food and supplies. With precious little time left before curfew to meet your quota, you have ventured out dangerously far. Who knows what sleeps beneath the ever dark sky?

I wrote and coded this in less than 48 hours for the 2020 GMTK Gamejam. Errors in spelling, grammar, and coding may be found; thank you immensely for trying the game in spite of this fact.

The game was developed in Twine and is text-based interactive fiction; this version has no graphics or music. Depending on the response received, I may later improve or expand the work and upload a newer version on a different page. The genre lies somewhere between dark surrealism and dark science fiction.

Trigger Warning for suicide mention on some play-throughs.

Hey, I enjoyed this!  The changes and choices flowed really well.  I appreciate how much must have gone into keeping those threads in line.  Got what certainly must have been a "bad" ending.  I'll give it another try later!

Thank you for playing and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed my work. The 48 hour time limit definitely posed a fun challenge; I look forward to working on it further and putting together a post-jam release, as I ended up leaving out much of what I wanted to include, but I don't know how long the work will take.

I look forward to hearing what you think of the various endings, if you do have time to check them out. Thanks again!
