Breathedge is a survival game developed by indie game devs RedRuins Softworks and published by HypeTrain Digital. It was released on Feburary 25, 2021, after an extended period in early access.The game puts the player in the role of the Man, Sole Survivor of a deep-space crash of the funerary liner "Unnamed" operated by the Breathedge corporation while attempting to bury his recently-deceased grandfather. With only his family heirloom, the Immortal Chicken, and a smart-mouthed corporate AI built into his spacesuit for company, the Man must scavenge, craft, explore, acknowledge innumerable shout-outs, bury his grandfather once and for all, get to the bottom of an Ancient Conspiracy and maybe chase after the mysterious "Babe" who keeps sending him seductive messages not-so-subtly trying to get him killed...Breathedge takes noticeable inspiration from the earlier survival game Subnautica; the core gameplay loop of scavenge > craft > explore > scavenge is highly similar. However, while Subnautica played into the horror of being isolated on an alien planet, Breathedge takes a far more darkly humorous and occasionally absurd tone. For example, one of the very first things you do in the game is try to plug a leak in your shuttle with the Immortal Chicken - only to be informed that leaks are best plugged with things that don't have holes at each end...At the 2023 Summer of Gaming event a sequal was announced.Breathedge 2 Reveal Trailer | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Just getting around in the first chapter is seriously hampered by a limited oxygen supply. You'll have to gather resources to set up oxygen stations to get yourself far enough to gather the resources needed to reach the next chapter. The next chapter introduces faster vehicles and additional limitless oxygen stations, reducing the need to constantly replenish oxygen at the primary base. | |

Dressing as the Enemy | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: In Chapter 2, there's a defunct military base whose AI doorman won't allow in civilians, forcing you to scan and then craft a military suit to gain entrance. The doorman still refuses to allow you entry because you're just a grunt, but your trusty General Chicken passes the check, thanks to a passing resemblance to the base commander. | |

| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
At one point your suit's AI recognizes that you need confidential information about the Breathedge corporation to survive, which its programming will not allow it to tell you. However, its programming does allow it to point out that there are numerous other suits around with the information which could be forced to reveal it using a drill. Your character decides to use the drill on himself to get your suit to talk. | |

| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: One of the ways the game has you reduce radiation in order to access more areas is to go to the game's setting menu and enable "reduced radiation" (an option that only appears when you're told to do so); a slide-show in-universe contains instructions to do so. | |

However, its programming does allow it to point out that there are numerous other suits around with the information which could be forced to reveal it using a drill. Your character decides to use the drill on himself to get your suit to talk. Shortly afterwards, your suit explains that "Unfortunately, due to the security protocol, I cannot tell you that the special magnets built into his engineering boots can be used to illegally open the back panel of Breathedge coffins" and then goes on to explain that it has "no right to explain" about the confidential features in the coffins that make doing this necessary, which it proceeds to describe in detail. | |

| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: With the exception of your spacesuit AI, who remains loyal and helpful throughout the game despite shouting the occasional corporate platitude, every other AI is not particularly impressive. The highlight has to be the military Gatekeeper confusing a chicken in camo pattern paint for a high-ranking general! | |

The All-Solving Hammer: The immortal chicken is used as the solution to a startling array of things, ranging from grounding electrical currents to plugging leaks to (due to an extremely fortunate resemblance) convincing a military robot that it is a general. It even contains a virus to shut down the evil AI. | |

The Dragon | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_53f5119f | comment |
"Babe", whose profile picture is just a close-up of a woman's cleavage. This is deliberately exploited by The Dragon - who's pretending to be her for most of the game (using a pair of Fake Boobs the entire time) - to (poorly) try to exploit Distracted by the Sexy to get you to kill yourself. The real Babe uses the same avatar but is more modestly dressed in a Form-Fitting Wardrobe spacesuit. | |

The Conspiracy | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_5b8c285b | comment |
The Conspiracy: The Breathedge corporation, exploiting its position as the premier space funeral service provider in human space, secretly experimented on and developed an army of corpse-powered "coffinbots" and scattered them all over the galaxy under the pretense of offering dignified funerals. One of their experiments resulted in the creation of the rogue AI Mother Station, who conspired with the Green Universe terrorist group to bring down the liner "Unnamed" to allow her to subvert the coffinbots aboard and kickstart the war, but the plan was bungled resulting in the mess the Man finds himself in at the start of the game. Oh and Grandfather, a brilliant space engineer and AI developer, discovered this and worked to subvert it, even posthumously taking control of his coffinbot to fight Mother personally. All of this is explained to you in one paragraph. | |

Interface Screw | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Freezing areas slowly ice up your helmet. The effect isn't fatal by itself, but good luck not dying when you can't even see your map markers. The effect is reversed by either finding a heating coil in one of the nearby wrecks or exiting the area. You can craft an upgraded helmet which is coated in lead paint. Put it on and you'll immediately see (or not, as the case may be) why that extra radiation protection isn't very helpful. | |

Breakable Weapons | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_af8974a3 | comment |
Breakable Weapons: All of your tools, weapons, and vehicles have a set durability that is reduced through use or damage, and will break once that durability is depleted. For tools and weapons, a point of durability is lost each time the item is used successfully. The exception is the Infinite Handy Scrapper, which has infinite uses as per the name even though its durability is listed as 999. For vehicles, they lose durability when damaged but can be repaired with the Repair Tool. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Breathedge (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The most obvious would have to be the player's goal in Chapter 2 being to make their way to a ship called ''Normandy,'' formerly captained by a man named Shepard. The objective marker for said ship even uses the Systems Alliance logo from that franchise. Among the dead Normandy crew is a green haired man who apparently wore heavy make up. One of the photos you can come across shows Grandad and the younger player character hanging out with a guy named "Ricky" and his grandson. While exploring the debris Man finds vats containing mutated cows with elongated heads. He later encounters one aboard a military capsule, having accidentally released it, with one of the dead crew even sprawled out on a table. In the ending, you find your ship has crash-landed on an ocean planet with another destroyed liner in the distance resembling the Aurora from Subnautica. Fortunately it's All Just a Dream. | |
