My game is about the adventure of space travel. You blast off from your alien home planet to explore the galaxy with yourself as the captain and your crew. You are task with managing the ship and responding to events that pose threat to your ship, like an incoming asteroid field, space battles with enemy pilots, or perhaps repairing a broken part on the ship or outside (Requires spacewalk). Some events are shaped as minigames while fixing the ship events are framed as puzzles. The player maintains life aboard the ship as they travel. They will discover new planets and civilizations that require the player's help. Once a planet's problem is fixed and there is peace, the player and their crew continues on their journey finding new planets.

However, this world is not easy to navigate for a person like Rem, who is unlike all other Hybrillians: Where they should have wings and horns, they instead possess a tail and a pair of ears. When they fall off their beloved home and find themselves hundreds of meters below Pluveil, how will they manage to get back?

In Your Hands is a sort of a mix of genres I believe, with a few aspects of a logic game, a platformer game, a strategy game, and an educational game. In this game, you, guided by the "Representative of the Universe", have to save a planet called Ahairi, in less than 10 minutes. Through a series of decisions, platformers, and puzzles, the player has to keep this world from dying.
At the end, they find out that the crisis facing Ahairi is very similar to the possible threats of climate change in our world and are encouraged to take action. I hope that putting climate change in this way really introduces it to a different audience and shows them the consequences it can have instead of just telling them and having them theorize about it.
