🚀 SYSTEMS DARK: Countdown Space Survival

An intense 3D sci-fi emergency survival simulation developed in Godot 4

“A meteor strike has crippled your vessel. Critical ship systems are failing one by one. You cannot save everything—choose wisely what you sacrifice, keep essential systems operational, and count down the jumps to Earth!”

⚡ ABOUT THE GAME

SYSTEMS DARK is an beat the COUNTDOWN 3D space survival. Following a catastrophic hull breach, your starship's core systems are rapidly degrading. These automated warp jumps give you precious little time.

You only have enough time to repair approximately 2 systems per countdown window. You must make split-second strategic sacrifices: Which systems do you save, and which hazards can you endure?

🛠️ THE 6 CRITICAL SHIP SYSTEMS & HAZARDS

Every system governs a specific environmental mechanic. If a system degrades to CRITICAL, race to its room with the matching tool. If left un-repaired when the jump timer hits zero, it becomes BROKEN, inflicting permanent environmental hazards:

System	Required Tool	Environmental Hazard When Broken	Minigame Mechanic
💡 LIGHTING	✂️ Wire Cutters	Total Blackout — Ship lights extinguish; rely on emergency flashlight [F].	Cable Rewiring
🪛 DAMPENERS	🔧 Wrench	Kinetic Inertia Jolts — Floor friction vanishes; thruster jolts slide player into walls.	Inertial Calibration
💨 LIFE SUPPORT	🩸 Pressure Sealer	O2 Depletion — Rapid oxygen drain & player sprinting is disabled.	Dual Pressure Valves
🚪 AUTO DOORS	🔌 Bypass Cable	Bulkhead Lockout — Corridor doors lock; hold [E] for 4.0s to pry open.	Console Override
📡 SENSORS	📻 Frequency Tuner	Radar Static — Minimap suffers signal blackout & heavy noise.	Dual Frequency Alignment
🌌 GRAVITY	🔑 Grav Key	Zero-G Floating — Gravity turns off, forcing slow floating move speed.	Gravity Core Reset

⚠️ TOTAL SHIP COLLAPSE: If 4 or more systems become BROKEN simultaneously, your ship suffers immediate catastrophic structural collapse!

🎯 GAMEPLAY RULES & STRATEGY

1. ONE TOOL AT A TIME: You can only hold 1 tool in your hands. On normal and hard difficulties, you must return your current tool to its rack before picking up another!
2. STRATEGIC SACRIFICE: Time is strictly limited. You cannot save all 6 systems in a single round. Prioritize the systems most vital to your survival strategy.
3. SURVIVE THE WARP JUMPS: Keep the vessel operational through all required warp jumps to make it back home to Earth!
