Voyager-19 (2024)

published 2025-10-31 | tags: #backlog #games

I was house-bound on Halloween because I was sick and I have two little kids. Instead of watching a scary movie I decided to play a short scary game and found Voyager-19 in my backlog.

The most concise way I can describe Voyager-19 is to say that it is Iron Lung in space. Which if you haven't played Iron Lung, means:

• Controlling a claustrophobicly small vessel.
• Navigating an existentially horrifying and spooky map.
• You can only see the world through photographs.
• Clunky controls that add to the stress.
• Your character is left for dead.
• PS1 graphics aesthetics.

Voyager-19 differentiates itself in a few ways:

• Your resources dwindle over time forcing you to make shitty trade-offs.
• The interface degrades over time adding to your strain as a player.
• In space (duh)

If you like short spooky games this is a great way to spend 40 minutes!
