A downloadable short story adaptation for Windows, macOS, and Linux

A short atmospheric game about the meaning of life.

Added linux + Mac OS X binaries (with mouse lock support) Version 1.0: HTML player with mouse lock support; Windows binaries with mouse lock support (new upcoming PICO8 feature) Mac OS X + linux binaries + standalone versions will be provided later Credits. Original levels + art + sfx by @gamecactus. Zep for PICO-8 and support (and sneaky. The Mighty Stick is a game about the most ancient technology. It's about a stick, which can help you to survive in the cold space. It's a kinda adventure game, but from the first perspective.

This is an adaptation of Andy Weir's short story, with permission of the author. Kairos (el.seth) mac os. It tries to be as close to the original material as possible, while offering an immersive interactive experience, with minimal 3D visuals and a dynamic ambient soundtrack.

If you like the game, share it! It's meant to be free, and freely distributed. You can also try A Road to Awe, for a similar atmosphere, and RPG in a Box, the game engine.

The original short story was translated in many languages, and I'd like the game to offer the same diversity, but it's difficult to get in touch with each translator individually.

Feel free to contact me on Twitter or with this contact form if you want to provide a translation in your language.

You can read the original story here (SPOILERS!)

The game can be played with a mouse and the left button. It should also work with WASD or arrow keys and the space bar, but I'd recommend using a mouse for a smoother experience.

Gorgeous story set in a simple yet ethereal setting. The point and click style really lends itself well to this story, to give the player time to contemplate. I really enjoyed the mystical ambiance!

Amazing game, the story was really good. Also, I like the idea of using lights as a guide for the player, it keeps everything simple and doesn't add more elements to the scene.

Such a fantastic short story and very well executed as an interactive game. Thank-you!

Does it need an update? Won't run on my MacBook running Mac OS 10.13.4 High Sierra.

I know this version of macOS broke a lot of things, so yes, it's possible the game isn't compatible with it. Thanks for reporting this, I'll investigate the issue with the developer of the engine. Could you provide any additional information? Does it crash at launch, do you get a specific error?

As you can see, I'm told the application may be damaged, and in the Finder it shows the circle-bar symbol over the app.

My bad, it seems like I totally botched the previous update and some files are missing from the macOS folder, possibly because of a file export problem. My guess is Mac users of the first version weren't affected because Itch's update system didn't remove said files. This is actually good timing because I was about to release a new version with a Dutch translation and a few minor tweaks. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll release a fix in a day or so.

Nice! I really enjoyed this experience :D
And I'm quite impressed to see what is possible with 'RPG in a box'! :D

Thanks, glad you liked it :) RPG in a Box evolved quite a bit since The Egg, and it keeps getting better. It's perfect for any kind of voxel-based adventure/point & click/walking simulator, and very beginner-friendly.

The tedium of this game exhausted me but I understood that the walking-pauses were allowing for contemplation of each point.
My favorite part was when the original stage comes back into frame, contextualizing the information that was just received.
