(dont) Trust mysterious transmissions.

Nice! The 1-bit Obra Dinn style really adds an unsettling spookiness that wouldn't have been present with more conventional visuals.

Loved the style and the story.  Using the monochromatic style in space allows for the emptiness to envelope the player.  Great job!

Really loved the game! The look of the game reminded me of LIDAR.EXE and the minimalism really makes the stressful situation that much more stressful and also accentuates the moral dilemma quite a bit and also really makes one feel lonely and bleak and puts them in the character's perspective.

Really well made game and had lots of fun playing it!

The game does a brilliant job at creating atmosphere and intrigue with the few sets it has.


I like how the story and gameplay mix together so you are trying to talk and reason with your crew while simultaneously working to override their control of the ship.

Id love a longer version.

Wow, obviously it is a spiritual successor to The Colony. Awesome, I'll try to run it on Linux through Wine, we'll see what will happen.

I actually had never heard of The Colony. Checked it out and it's awesome!

That cannot be an accident! Sirenum is identical to Colony, those lines, starship design.
Anyway SIrenum works great on linux through wine. I had nasty framedrops on few angles with shadows(maybe they are blurred little too much? but I use intel hd5500 so it is understandable) it would be cool to have option to lower the shadows quality and video resolution.
Game is amazing, Great voice acting, sound design and music. Spot on. This could be big. You pulled me in.. You have green light from me.
