EXOCHORDA | Deck 6 (Preview)

*** INTERNET ACCESS IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PC OR AN EXTERNAL DEVICE TO COMPLETE THIS ROOM *** You suddenly find yourself aboard Deck 6 of the U.S.C.N. Exochorda. The crew has disappeared, the ship suddenly derelict, but operational, as it approaches Earth on its return journey from the Outer System. Put together clues, learn about the crew through e-mails and audio logs, and unlock the secrets of Deck 6. ________ This room is a WORK IN PROGRESS with the first section currently playable. Once you "finish" this section, feel free to select the "Stay" option to continue to explore the ship and get a preview of what's to come! There are multiple paths to solving puzzles, and I'm curious to get feedback on player experience and which paths people utilize. Please feel free to comment here with any bugs/glitches/unintended gameplay you discover, or contact me in the Pine Studio Discord. Thanks much! ________ KNOWN BUGS: - Keypads can become frozen and locked out if you spam inputs too quickly - Random crashes on Steam Deck (using both SteamOS and Windows) - For some reason USCN mug and prescription bottle will stack in inventory. ________ NOTES: - Currently to complete the initial room, you are required to visit an external website not associated with Steam or Pine Studio. So far this has been a contentious feature among some players, but I felt the idea/mechanic was interesting enough to warrant inclusion. - Placeholders and temporary art are present. Multiple sources for external art and assets have been used, will be compiled and credited on final release. - Multiplayer testing with 2+ players would be very helpful as I am currently concerned with lag and desync issues.
