Vessels is a clever little horror visual novel where you attempt to guide a co-worker to safety in a creepy tunnel system that may contain a monster.
In Vessels you are a new employee of a company who has been dispatched with a senior coworker to try and fix a prolonged power outage in a tunnel system. Your co-worker explores the tunnels while you get the easy part of the job – sitting at a surveillance console where you can activate lights, open doors and give your co-worker directions.
It’s a short and well executed horror game that makes clever use of limited assets and the surveillance console interface. The restrictions of the game jam Vessels was made for mean that it was only allowed to use one character, one environment, one soundtrack, one sound effect and less than 1,000 words. It’s pretty remarkable what the dev has managed to achieve with this and there are even multiple endings to discover too.
