I used UE5 which does not have native support for Web Export so this is the best I could figure out. It is limited to 15 days and a total of 60 mins of playtime (total not just for one person). Best experienced with a downloaded ver.

An immersive sci-fi horror experience that emphasizes isolation, narrative depth, and atmospheric tension. You explore a mysterious outpost on a barren desert planet. Through exploration, environmental storytelling, and Logs from those who once resided, you unravel the truth about your mission and the anomaly. Surreal encounters with  unique threats fill you with adrenaline, while dynamic interactions using the environment challenge the player's critical mind.

In total I spent around 150hrs over the course of the Jam on this as the same time as my full-time job. I learned a lot and it was very fun. I almost cried when I accidentally deleted the Arboretum level on the last day and had to remake a worse version from Scratch (I overwrote the level file). 

I highly recommend not turning off lumen if possible as the lighting in the game was only built with lumen in mind. Try to scale everything else down first. I did run perfectly fine on my computer with everything on high though (I have a 3060 and a ryzen 5 3600). 

Current known major bugs. 

- Things kinda break when loading saves. Mainly levels are not loaded (didn't have time to setup the level loading into the save system). Keys in inventory might also reset. (Tip, try moving around a bit near where you spawned in at a save. I made the load level triggers right next to the autosave triggers, so they should load in if you hit them).

-Previous area doors locked with no way to open them when the level gets reloaded, sometimes.

Things I'd love feedback on
- Visuals (the levels are all basic blockouts with mats slapped on them so more so the atmosphere)

- Feelings invoked (What things made you feel what way? Like did the music do a good job at making you feel tense?)
