Directive 399WH

Directive 399WH is a… we’re not sure exactly. You are woken by your ship’s AI as there is an anomaly causing time loops aboard ship. The AI has a plan and he has chosen you….. for some reason?
The game is kind of a Puzzle/Exploration/Narrative game…. Just play it for a bit and tell us what we have made. Please… we’d love to know  If it feels like two different games jammed together at a certain point, you must be mistaken 

We couldn’t really decide what to make so we both made different games and decided to see what would happen… won’t try that again  Sorry if it feels a little rushed, because it was at the end 
There were more endings planned for the ship segment, some are half finished. I will try and release a V2 with them included at a later point.

Both of us wanted to code, rather than one focussing on art so there are no imported models, everything is just built out of unity primitives. Also only a couple imported textures, the rest are flat colours with shader 'trickery'.

Known Bugs/Issues

• Unity WebGL Graphical Glitches - Same old 
• No particle effects on WebGL build - Can't fix as Unity Limitation. Use the Windows build for best experience
• There is only one ending - The other main ending had to get cut due to time will add it in a post jam version at some point.
• Will supply a Linux Build at some point soon. Sorry no OSX build as it never works unless you compile it on one. 

Changelog

• V1.0 - Initial Release
• *V1.1 - Main Post Jam Fixes
