This game is very good and you should play it. Bite sized text-based horror where you navigate a deep sea submarine through an unreliable AI visor that lists what you're looking at with margin for error. store.steampowered.com/app/2…

PROXIMATE on Steam

Congratulations, contractor! You've been approved to trial our cutting-edge AI visor. Use it to explore the Neuras lab and recover the staff's research. Your visor is safe, reliable, and up to 99%...

the platform i've built here may not be very useful to my current projects but i can at least make sure that a few thousand people will see this weird fucking cat that i'm petsitting
photo of my work desk. there is a screen with Unity and Vscode open that's partially obscured by a cat who's standing on the desk and staring straight into the camera. the cat has a hunched and awkward pose and a facial expression that looks a lot like what mine probably did when i fell into a k-hole and spent an hour throwing up in a gutter behind a club. generally he looks very fucked up and also has no desire to move or change this situation in any way

hi i'm working on a new thing. it's a dread-based narrative game where you explore an undersea lab, with your only form of navigation being an unreliable AI built by techbro hypsters. i've got a 5-10 minute demo so far if you want to check it out 💖 cmddx.itch.io/proximate
A screenshot from the game: a low-res visor with the word "AIRLOCK" in the center. A compass and proximity data is on either side.

An incoming call from the player's manager, "GENE M.". He's listed as being the Senior Consultant in the Innovation Department.

A text conversation between two people, Willow and Ells. Willow: why are you texting me lol. i'm like two desks away from you Ells: i am leaving an ontological record. future historians have the right to know that resurrection was discovered by two bella/mae shippers
