Trieste [DEMO]
A downloadable game
Beneath the ice of Europa, a research vessel hunts for answers regarding the “simple” lifeforms found there. For Ivy, the crew’s janitor, this is a chance to rebuild her life after it all fell apart.
But as the pressure mounts, her partner Lucy, the lead researcher, pushes harder for results, and the line between personal redemption and obsession begins to blur. Somehow, the crew and the extraterrestrial life start to become one.
Crushed under the growing pressure to produce results, can this crew keep it together before everything falls apart?
This is an alpha-like demo for our project in development. Bugs and graphical issues may occur, and current assets may (most likely) not be in the final game. The demo word count is around 3k. The final project will have much, much more. We hope you enjoy.

I never tend to leave comments online, but I thought I'd make the effort because I've truly enjoyed this demo. I wanted to leave my honest opinion.
The writing is interesting and left me looking forward to seeing what might happen next. The ambience, too, makes you feel like you're trapped beneath the water, I'm not sure how to explain it (sorry, I'm not an English speaker), just the overall vibe and how it's described made me feel like that. And the drawings are beautiful too. I really hope you all are successful with this game and that more people find out about it :D And, of course, thanks for the hard work
thank you so much for the comment!? There is absolutely a claustrophobic vibe going on here, and we're so glad that's coming across. We hope you stay updated for the full game, we are working very hard on it !!
love it (pepole need to see this game and im looking forward to more updates!)
omg thank you so much !! we hope more people play!! (writer talking rn) so excited to see people react to all the plot developments ehehe
While there are some typos that should be noted I'm excited to see where this story goes!
Don't worry, I spotted them right after we posted it, but it took a bit for us to update it so ;w; anyhow thank you so much for playing, we hope you enjoy future updates :)
Looking forward to more! Loved the occasional music setting the tone, the art is lovely, and the story is definitely evoking a pit of dread in my stomach!
Thank you so much for playing! We hope you enjoy what's in store <3 it can only go downhill from here.
