Amidst the most inexplicable and prolonged power outage within the company tunnels, a worker had failed to report themselves in the last 72 hours.
With no recourse, the company has contacted your department, and dispatched YOU and a Senior Officer...
...to rescue... or recover the individual... amidst the darkness.

VESSELS is a Horror Micro-Game made for the O2A2 Micro-Game Jam. You and your colleague have been sent to find out what happened to a missing person deep within the dark tunnels.
Can you succeed in your mission? Can you get this person... or even YOURSELF... out of the TUNNELS in time?
You may not be the only ones down there either....

This game features SAMGRACE who plays your Colleague!

As with all O2A2 games, this game was created under strict guidelines:
- Only one character visually featured in only one pose.
- Only one environment
- Only one soundtrack.
- Only one sound effect.
- 1,000 words or less, excluding repeats (Game is 999 words).
- Only 10 days from START to COMPLETION.
I've participated in O2A2 for the last 3 years. VESSELS has been the most challenging one yet for me. I hope you enjoy it :).

o wow finally a good game that u make.
well, now I want more! What a fun game! And the voice action? FANTASTIC! Kudos to the artist, what a great voice and interpretation. The game has a good story, and for sure can be developed further. The art style is really pretty and enjoyable to follow. Great little game, I really loved it! Good job for all!
I loved the style and I loved the mechanics. Great work!
Great game
Cool lore, would love a longer version (preferably more alternatives on how to mess with the lady haha)
This is a take cool game concept with awesome art and superb voice acting. Honestly just wish it was longer with more options!
wonderful game, loved it
tricked that bitch into falling down the pit. that's what she gets for calling me rookie.
Great game!!
The interaction is so interesting! really like the ENDING 4, especially when i have to stop the monster catch me in a very short time. Also I'm curious about the lore about the company after the monster said there are many of them there. The only problem is too short TT Do you attempt to make it longer? I'll really like it. Anyway, this game is amazing. Thank you for your excellent work:)!
The dev had to stay within the rules of the game Jam, one of which being that it had to be under 1,000 words. Those words add up quick, so it was always bound to be short.

I ain't letting her calling me "rookie" slide
Tried out your game!
Amazingly polished, super fun and SO creepy. I loved it a lot and can't believe you managed to make this for O2A2, it's so good! As other comments have said it feels like a full-length game. It was so charming and frightening and really brightened my day, 100/10!
Made a video
How on Earth is this so...complete? Were it not clearly mentioned on the page it was made for the O2A2 game jam, I'd have believed this was merely a masterfully-built puzzle game that gets in, teaches you its mechanics and shares as much story as you need to know, then escalates the difficulty from there to a final challenge, all in the span of ~5 minutes. Instead, this is all that, but made in 10 days. Incredible!!
How do you get Ending 4? I got 1, 2 & 3, but I can't figure out how to get 4.
Repeat what you did to achieve Ending 1, but with your new colleague instead of your old one.
Thanks! Just got the 4th ending.
Good game
FOR WHATEVER REASON THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE TUNNEL AND THE FIRST THING SHE DECIDES TO DO IS YELL "WHO'S THERE?" WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?! Overall GREAT GAME!! Something different is always something that peaks my interest and this did not disappoint lol Youtube Link -
Dear GOD if there's ever a sequel to this one, PLEASE bring this monster back. idc if they'll help us or not or if the woman will try to regain control idc this thing got me acting unwise!!!
I think it could be cool to play as the rookie, and you are at a new console helping a team take down these people, so you have to use your skills and knowledge from the previous game to take down them. it could feature a ton of new endings, and i think there should be a mode where you play as one of the team member fighting. so you have to use combat skills and stuff to survive.
Awesome game. I love the style, the creepy atmosphere and the story. It's really interesting and I really want to see more. 10/10!
Looking forward to what else you have to offer in the future!
Woah, this was awesome! The pacing and build-up to the ending was perfect - despite the short word count/graphical restrictions, it never once felt like you were fighting with them or anything. The voice acting and presentation of it all was also stellar; thank you for making this!
🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
This is a really good game , I never expected it to end like that 😊
Did she get possessed? or was it a mimic
pretty sure its some sorta mimic instead of possession but idk
no they talk about having her memories
Really fun! I loved how much gameplay you could get out of one background and one sprite!!
This was great! I really liked how you integrated the gameplay elements into the UI. It made the experience so engaging. Samgrace did a perfect job as well.
I loved your entry last year too. You're really good at creating these settings that are both intriguing and have a sense of danger.
Nice game. I was only able to get endings 1 and 4.
edit: I now got ending 3. Just need to figure out ending 2.
did you get ending 2? i dont know what to do
You tell them to go straight when she asks for directions
i feel dumb, thank you <3
How to get ending 4?
Just played through this. Really liked it! Simple and fun. Samgrace is a perfect fit for our Colleague, who's writing and character I enjoyed! She DEFINITELY deserves overtime pay. Love the campy horror and setting.
I was honestly feeling a little bit smug on the return to the blast doors, of course that only lasted for a minute until I was no longer needed to open the doors.
Great job on the game!
Hey, thank you for playing! Love your playthrough!
Perfect horror visual novel game when I played alone in my room at midnight. I will play your game called "Date Time" when that game full release in Steam (already wishlist it)
