BACKSTORY

The grand finale of the expedition to the edge of the ringworld draws near.

Nearly twenty years ago explorers found a remarkable location near the edge of the world. Due to the rocky terrain, and the presence of a river, repair grunts were unable to access a sizable portion of land almost adjacent to the wall. 

This location was the perfect place to build a space launch platform, where a rocket could be flung over the wall, finally obtaining images from the other side. Furthermore, a nearby ancestor monolith, its area of influence untouched by the grunts, would serve as a temporary living place.

Ten years of hard work followed, as the materials were brought in from the motherland, nearly ten thousand kilometers away from the wall. As time passed, interest in the project reduced, and resources were instead focused on the ongoing conflict with a nearby country.

This reduced the work team considerably, and in short time a single scientists would stay working on the project, while the rest stayed further away from the wall, where the climate was less harsh.

You have just arrived at the work site, replacing Bashforth, a chemist, and you are tasked with finishing the fueling of the rocket, and finally launching it. Images being sent over radio all across the ring.

Sadly, I was unable to fully complete my vision for the game for the jam, which would have involved a way less linear playstyle (think Voices of the Void). Maybe future development will bring improvements!
