I got a The Thing vibe from Vessels - creepy, tense, uncertainty. I guess at least you don't have to care about dying although I'd expect everyone to be expendable by the end of the game...
I would absolutely recommend it, it's a science-fiction classic (Link). Though be warned that Stanislaw Lem is not light reading.
My computer is an 8 year old notebook with a Geforce GT 745M graphics chip - that's really low-spec, so I doubt you can really do much about it on your end. I managed to get the game running with a decent fps, so it's not too bad :)
Great game and fantastic game design. It feels awesome exploring the ship looking for clues as to what is going on. I am very glad that the pace is not too fast, and that not too many story elements are revealed right off the bat. I do however feel that the demo holds your hand just a little too much and that Peyton is a bit too stupid. It is somewhat off putting that she is on this mission being lacking any kind of skill. Perhaps revealing that she is actually quite the formiddable pilot sooner and more clearly will make her more fitting in the game. It would cirtainly help me immerse myself more. But looking forward to the full release for sure! Good work!
Hey BH! Thanks for playing and we're so glad you enjoyed it! While Act 1 is very close to what's in the final game, you are right--we chose to make the demo rather linear. In the final game, both Act 2 and Act 3 are a bit more open-ended (we have at least 3 potential endings in Act 3).
Good note about Peyton, we'll try to add a line in the final version so players know that Peyton isn't a complete idiot. We hope that most players come to realize there's a lot more to her than just her fuck-ups.

Could you add the Linux version to Itch, please?

We love 'The Thing' so that's nice to be compared to! :D
It's got that vibe.. making you trust no-one. :)
Very intriguing game, I enjoyed playing it very much (even though my crappy computer can barely run it).
The story so far reminds me a lot of the book "Solaris" - any connection?
Not familiar with that book :/ Would you recommend it?
Sorry to hear your computer is having trouble, we're working on optimizing the game more.
