A small, relatively restrained piece of interactive fiction. While there's only one piece of background art and a single piece of ambient music to accompany the text, and while gameplay is largely done simply through hyperlinks, the game is effective in establishing story, setting, and characters. The two main characters are the only surviving crewmembers of an outer space fungal outbreak. Both endings provide different ways of closure on their grief.
