stare directly at the sun
A downloadable stack for Windows
What does it mean to be a pilot, stripped of their cockpit by simply following the plan?
Maybe they can be worth something to someone.
(EP version is just short of half the length of the planned full version.)
CWs: military, disability and chronic injury, toxic relationships, professional settings, alcohol references, and hope.

Install instructions
This is a classic Macintosh file, designed on System 7.5.5.
It runs solidly in emulators such as Basilisk II and Mini vMac.
Emulator Package
There is self-contained Mini vMac emulator packaged as a zip file for Windows systems. Both the application version and HyperCard version are included.
To open the emulator, drag the "stare directly at the sun.dsk" disk image onto the "Mini vMac 26.exe" executable.
Disk Images
There are two disk images, tested in Basilisk II and Mini vMac. One is a 800KB floppy-disk size disk image including the HyperCard version. The other is a 3MB disk image including the standalone application version.
Raw Files
There are two files: a HyperCard stack and Classic Mac application. A StuffIt archive of both files is available as well.
These are designed for emulators with direct disk access.

Watched your video of you going through the Shufflecomp entries, and that's prompted me to point out that "From the Stars II" was one of the songs off my playlist.
Ha, rad. That was one of the ones that solidified the setting for me!
This was great! Very complex
Thanks for playing and your idfb review!
Love the vibe and the game mechanic, was fun to play through twice and see the impacts of getting orders right or wrong. Really into the story too; excited for the full version!
Thank you for playing!
