Detritus

View on IFDB

Lost in deep space, your cargo vessel has suffered a catastrophic hull failure. The engines are offline, the AI is silent, and there’s no sign of the crew... and that’s just the start of your problems.

Explore the remains of the derelict ship. From fragmented memories, discover what became of the crew and piece together the events that led to the disaster. Find codes, hack keypads, and make your way past biometric locks in order to get the engines back online.

The ship is filled with debris; make use of it to help you survive – perhaps you'll find the answers you seek among the detritus.

Detritus won IF Comp 2025 with its smooth visuals, compelling gameplay and excellent writing.
