Here is an excerpt of What Happened to the Crew?'s description on itch.io:

What happened to the crew? is an immersive puzzle-mystery game inspired by Return of the Obra Dinn, Type Help and Immortality played entirely through a simulated computer terminal. You are an investigator sitting miles away, connected remotely to a dead station. Your only tools are the command line, a scattered archive of corrupted files, and your own powers of deduction.

  • Authentic Terminal Interface: Immerse yourself in a tactile CLI environment. Type commands, navigate directories, and unlock the mysteries within.
  • Non-Linear Investigation: There is no hand-holding. Explore the file system at your own pace. Discover audio logs, personal journals and mission reports in any order to reconstruct the narrative.
  • Atmospheric Horror: Experience a chilling sci-fi horror story through vivid text descriptions where the scariest things are what you don't see.
