Excellent game - controls smooth, good storyline, very gripping atmosphere! Liked the variety of endings, and the fact that one of them is a clear "win"...
Reviews for "Erebos"
Very nice!
Found ending 1,2,5,6 and gueesing 3+4 are half of 5.
PS: sometimes it says, taken keycard albeit you have it already or some other minor issues revisiting stuff getting the original dialog again.
PPS: Didn't understand, what made you wake up from cryosleep? And why weren't you hurt anymore?

Thanks! You are correct, 3 and 4 are either half of 5.
As for what happened, I'd love to say that it's part of the mystery though the truth is that this was a game jam game and I had to cut the story elements a lot in order to get it done in time. I'm currently writing another game (interactive fiction) that aims to explain not just what happened during the game, but also how things got to that state to begin with.
Minor spoiler, the character has been in cryotherapy longer than he realizes. The computer wakes him up then because it was the safest time to do so.
I'm Impressed, this was a good game. Multiple endings for repeat playthroughs and a control scheme that worked. If I absolutely have to complain about anything, it is that the game is a little too short.
Wow, I'm happy to have stumbled upon this unique game! I adore the story aspect of the game, it makes up for the rather simplistic gameplay. I can instantly tell it's a quality game, everything feels very polished and the game also gives off that creepy vibe despite not being inherently scary, it's like you're all by yourself on this "Erebos" spaceship and there's something lurking in there. I only got one of the six endings (namely the fourth one) and I'll definitely look forward to getting to the other ones as well, this game is really fun and interesting!
If I were to suggest you anything to improve on the game, then that'd be making the areas look more distinctive from one another, since I sometimes was a bit lost and unsure where to go in order to continue, since everything looked quite similar, but the signs with the ship departments were a great help. You could also maybe improve the game art-wise slightly and add more animation, but I can tell that the main focus here is the story and the tension so you did what you had to do very well ^_^
Also, lots of bonus points for creating the game using open-source software like Godot and Aseprite! I picked those two up some time ago and am having lots of fun working with them ;^)
