Dead Reckoning

ACV Hesperus, colony vessel, voyage day 31,687. An alarm wakes Second Officer Kade. The ship's intelligence, CAIRN, is calm, polite and honest – and a little more wrong every week. Something out there flips bits in its memory every eight and a half seconds.

Dead Reckoning is a first-person, story-driven mechanical horror game. There are no monsters and no weapons. Restore power with a screwdriver, a multimeter and a handheld oscilloscope, open the armoured shutter, take a star fix by hand and find out where the Hesperus really is. Every repair is a real diagnosis, and the schematic is printed inside every cover.

The last departure window closes in a few hours. The numbers for the burn don't close. Someone has to decide who does not wake up.

Needs a desktop browser with WebGL 2, a keyboard and a mouse. Headphones recommended. Contains disturbing themes (death, loneliness, suicide).
