countdown108 2010-07-01

A online game inspired by "The Hatch" -- a mysterious underground facility in the TV Show LOST. Developed by Richard Ahlin and I during the summer holidays in 2010.

At the time of writing a working copy of the site is still running here: station3.undul.at.

At this website you can create and account and sign into the terminal and start the game. This will start a real-time countdown timer for 108 minutes, the player can log of from the site and return at any time. When the countdown timer has less than 4 minutes remaining you are prompted to write in a number sequence that will reset the timer back to 108 minutes. The goal is to keep this timer going for as long as possible. The result is posted on a shared leaderboard.

When first visiting the page you are prompted to register or login on a retro computer terminal When logged in, the timer at the top of the page will update to the user's current timer status When the timer runs out, ominous sounds and symbols are presented, and the game ends
