What Is Ventilator?
Ventilator is a fast-paced roguelite where you play as an emergency response drone navigating a space station in catastrophic systems failure. Each run is different. Every floor has a new configuration of busted ventilation shafts, hostile maintenance bots, and one very unhelpful station AI.
Why This Game
After Omniquarium — which is as calm as games get — we wanted to make something with velocity. Something where every second matters and every run teaches you something new. Ventilator is that game.
What to Expect
- Runs that take 20–40 minutes
- Three distinct build paths (more on those soon)
- A final boss we are very proud of and will not be spoiling
- Couch co-op support (two drones, shared module pool — chaotic and good)
Wishlist Now
Ventilator is available to wishlist on Steam today. No release date yet, but we're targeting late 2026. If you liked Omniquarium's vibe, this is something different. If you didn't like Omniquarium's vibe, this is still something different.
