Game Mechanics
Cryo Chamber unlock
The cryo chamber will automatically be unlocked after about 3:05 minutes.
There's nothing that can be done to open it earlier, but you can use the waiting time to complete other necessary tasks.
Calling for help
You have to call for help in order to not trigger the bad ending.
In order to do so you have to set the self destruct. Then go to the first floor of the station, thus triggering the destruction of the ship you arrived with. After that go back to the room where you set the self destruct and right click the screen on the wall left from the laptop.
Skipping events
Many events are based on a timer which starts as soon as you start a run. Therefore you can skip several of them by beeing fast enough, such as the power blackout or the spawning of the white monster.
Weapons
There are three types of weapons in this game:
- pistol: little damage (1x)
- laser weapon: medium damage (2x)
- super weapon: much damage (3x)
If you have to rescue the survivor you have to pick up the laser weapon and ammo near the CD in order to kill the monsters faster and to have enough ammo to kill them all.
Difficulty
The difficulty changes several attributes of the monsters. The higher the difficulty the higher the monsters health, speed and damage they inflict to you are.
