About:

A curious self-taught scientist discovers a rift leading to a strange dark place—chaotic, but structured; geologically abundant, but biologically dangerous. 

Explore the new dimension and its different regions. Gather the precious resources found within. Annihilate the creatures that stop you, and collect their essence to enhance your equipment: your suit, your weapons, your jetpack, and the tether that keeps you connected to your world. Return home when you lack supplies or when things are too dangerous, but improve and continue diving deeper—until you reach the periphery. Then, end the source of the mystery. Do it all, as fast as you can.

Gameplay:

Dive into the rift. Collect resources.  Abort mission (or die). Upgrade your equipment. Dive again.

Objective:

Destroy the source of the rift in the deepest part of the dimension in as few days as possible.

Mechanics:

Fuel: Your jetpack runs out of fuel. You must return to camp when it runs out.

Boosting: You can boost to double your speed, at the cost of some extra fuel.

Resources: You must gather resources to upgrade your equipment. They can be mined from the terrain or dropped by slain enemies. To use them, you must bring them back to camp.

Weapons: You can carry a set of weapons each time you go into the rift. Each weapon only holds a few cartridges that can be recharged by going back to camp.

Tether: Your tether limits how deep you go in the rift. Its length can be increased by upgrading it in camp.

Aborting: You can return to camp by aborting the mission. This ends the day and brings home the resources for upgrading. Try to do as much as you can during each dive to the rift to minimize the number of days it takes to finish the game. If you die before aborting, you lose the resources you have and waste the day.
