Buried Future

Our entry for the #Redefine2021 GameJam. The theme was "Future Tech".

It's about a boy who visits an old abandoned factory called "Future Tech" that was inventing new technologies like teleportation or exoskeletons, but was  closed after an accident.

The boy's grandfather worked there and went missing after the accident. Now, years later, the boy has received a message that tells him to come looking for something, so he enters the factory through the cellar.
