Project Overview

A brief look at the game's concept, mechanics, and development journey.

In Space Junk, you take on the role of The Space Binman, dispatched to a space station to clear away cosmic debris. However, upon arrival, you uncover a chilling revelation: the crew has been infected by an intergalactic virus, transforming them into mindless zombies! It's up to you to neutralise the threat and make a "clean" getaway before the situation spirals further out of control.
