I hadn't thought about it that deeply. I was drawing, rather, just an ordinary planet Earth.

In any case, feedback is appreciated. Feel free to write your opinion, suggest your ideas or ask any questions if you are interested. Also, there is a community page on the GitHub, where you can report bugs. Until then, development is still active. P.S. Also, AI was not used (at least on my side).

All those three sections were created in 2023, though. But, I've gained a real motivation to finally continue developing this game in late Summer of 2026, so I rewritten it in C++ and made lots of refactoring. And I am still actually refactoring this, huh.

Still, I was eager to create this game, so I continued developing it no matter how painful it was. I returned developing it somewhere in late 2024 with finally knowing what the Git is, but then dropped development once again somewhere near in early 2025 without doing anything really important.

Funny story: I started developing this game in March 2023. But I was too lazy and I wasn't good at coding and creating good structures and didn't know about version control systems at that time, so this was kind of an unfun development hell adventure, which I actually still fixing.

There are three maps in this game called «sections» that have different rooms and different enemies. If you are interested to play, I would recommend you to start from section A. And be prepared for section J because it will be REALLY LOUD (sorry for this, but this was intended).

Well, everything seem to be easy at first, but you'll see why it is not. So, you have to be prepared for any kind of danger waiting at your way. And... This game takes for about an hour to finish in average. So you have to be patient. If you leave — you gotta start all over again.

Beware of the disclaimer, though. And beware of the solo-developed Beta state of the game. This game relies heavily on random events. Therefore, every game session will spawn random rooms from pre-prepared assets. Enemies and batteries will spawn at a certain chance.

Hello, everyone! I'd like to introduce you to my first game, which I recently released on itch.io — «The Rooms». It is a survival-horror game based mainly on "Rooms" and "Doors" games in Roblox. Well, overcome your fear of the unknown. justchicknugget.itch.io/the-rooms #gamedev #indiedev #horror

«Orion's Dream» Inspired by the «Hopefulness» comic by u/bluewolf3691 (on Reddit). [Casualties: Unknown] #art #digitalart #fanart #casualtiesunknown

A character named Orion is looking at the night sky, full of stars, which also includes the constellation of the same name. This is all their dream — to finally see the stars. Sadly, this dream may be destined to remain unfulfilled.

This drawing took much more time and effort than I expected. I didn't know that angles would be so difficult to draw. And along with the angles, problems with the shadows came up too :) Anyways, I still found it interesting to paint this picture, which makes me happy.

... table on a separate piece of paper, without stopping for a second. No reference books or anything like that. They solve complex problems, and it all comes so easily to them. How do they do it?»

«I am sitting next to someone who seems to know absolutely everything there is to know. They don't bring the books we were all given. Instead, they bring their own – and they are all weird. What's more, today, right before my eyes, they just start writing out this incomprehensible ...

«A Smart Deskmate» And here's Milky! I will definitely draw more Sawians in the future. P. S. I spent longer drawing the table than Expie and Milky together xD [Casualties: Unknown] #art #digitalart #fanart #casualtiesunknown

Expie is puzzled by the fact that his deskmate, Milky, solves problems that are more difficult than everyone else's, and also by the pile of obscure, complex-looking items lying on Milky's side of the desk.

... you can see the glow of plants, campfires and the lights of other survivors somewhere in the distance. It looks very unusual... I think they see me too. I hope that I will meet someone again. But until then, I have to keep walking through these endless caves. As long as I’m still alive...»

«At times, it feels like there is absolutely no one in these vast caves. You can't find a soul. The sense of isolation is crushing. But when you come across places like this, you realize you're just winding yourself up. From here ...

Endless Caves Hello, everyone! I want to share my first ever painting with you. I really love the game's atmosphere and it has sparked lots of ideas for me lately. A lot was going on in my head, so I decided to start painting. [Casualties: Unknown] #art #digitalart #fanart #casualtiesunknown

Dark caves with lots of glow from other survivors in the distance. In the foreground, a very comfortable place is depicted with the survivor's items laid out, from which the story is told.
