Life insurance

Your entire living species has been wiped out. Fortunately, they have taken up an insurance with Second Chance Inc., an AI-controlled company located on an ancient space ship in a remote corner of the universe.

On board the space ship, they preserve specimens of every known species (as long as they remember to pay their insurance fees). You are one of these specimens, and Second Chance Inc. is given you the opportunity to restart your population.

However, you first have to prove that this rebirth will not fail as a result of the same weakness that destroyed you in the first place.

Communication is key(s)

The recommended way to play this game is with a friend. Open your favourite chat program between you two and each start the game. The game does not require an internet connection, so feel free to use postal mail, telegrams, or pigeons (though it might slow you down a bit).

If no friends are available (or worse: drop out halfway), there is a friendly chatbot built into the game who can take up this role. But it won't be as fun. We're just saying.

We recommend using headphones while playing this game for the best experience.

Hey??? Is it possible to have an ending with both of the players surviving??? Pretty sad that the person who decided to cooperate first and hand over the keys died.

Next we still can't figure out why the code to noise room was what it was (we looked into the game files), so we are curious about it.

Other than beeing pretty annoyed at the game at the end of it, the rest was awesome and we had ton of fun

im confused how are we supposed to communicate???

as in when and how many things are we supposed to say??
