Breathedge

Breathedge is a game about space exploration, but not about flying on an intergalactic airliner: the hero finds himself alone among the wreckage and tries to survive by making everything from scraps. The ship on which he was flying fell apart, and now oxygen, food, and tools need to be collected from the debris. Crafting is the basis here: a fishing rod, a cutter, a generator, and then entire stations are assembled from parts and rubbish. Resources are scattered across locations, so you have to explore the wreckage, get to new areas and monitor your air supply. Mistakes cost you the loss of equipment. The tone of the game is ironic: the hero comments on what is happening, and rare finds are presented with humor. This saves you from despondency, because there is only metal and emptiness around. Separately, it is worth noting that the game also has stations: platforms that can be equipped, and they turn into a small house among the rubble. In addition to crafting, there are tasks for research and solving riddles related to the ship. Limited oxygen forces you to plan your route and get back on time, and this adds tension even in calm scenes. There are also difficulty settings that affect resource consumption. The humor is based on the hero's comments and finds in the form of notes. For those who love crafting and don't mind the long journey to get the result, the Breathedge gives plenty of reasons to stick around. At the same time, there are also small mysteries related to the past of the ship and its crew. The project is long and requires patience, but for those who love crafting and survival in unusual settings, the Breathedge provides many hours of fruitful tinkering.
