Game Description / What's Inside

The world ends in 12 days. Your rubber stamp decides who leaves it. November 2041. The meteorite Wormwood will strike Earth in 12 days, and the last evacuation ships are boarding. In BOARDING DENIED you are the clerk at Boarding Window 7: check every ticket, identity card, medical certificate and professional record, then stamp BOARD or DENIED. Every stamp is a life. Seats are limited, the rules change every day, and the people in line will beg, bribe and threaten to get past you. CHECK EVERY DOCUMENT Compare tickets, identity cards, medical certificates and professional records. The Geiger counter, thermometer, analysis syringe and scanner reveal what the paperwork hides. 12 DAYS, 12 SHIPS Every day brings a different ship with its own destination and rules: a farming colony on Mars, a science vault, a cult ship, a corporate luxury cruise, a hospital ship, a lottery ship, an ark of children bound for Titan, and 'La Última'. THE LINE BEGS, BRIBES, THREATENS People plead, slip you money and make threats at your window. Blackmail and corruption seep out of Window 6. Who do you believe, and what will you accept? A FAMILY TO FEED Every night, pay for food, medicine and heating for your family, or save up to buy them a seat. Correct calls earn money, and mistakes bring fines. STORIES THAT CROSS A doctor who sells forged certificates, a journalist hunting the lists, twins with a secret: recurring characters whose stories cross from day to day. Several endings depend on who you let board. RUST AND BONE Dirty, detailed apocalyptic pixel art, living characters with something unsettling about them, ash falling in the final days, menus built from forms and stamps, and an original synthesized soundtrack. Tense, moral and darkly funny, BOARDING DENIED is bureaucratic black humor at the end of the world. Who gets a seat, and who stays behind to watch the sky?
