Trapped in a dying ship pulled toward a star, you and your partner must race against time to execute a manual override of the alien control systems. One of you has the technical manual. The other has the controls. Communication is your only tool. Miscommunication is death.

Heavily inspired by "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes", Manual Override traps two players on a ship hurtling toward a star. One reads the manual, the other operates the alien controls. Communicate perfectly or be torn apart by gravity.

Using the supplied Xenological Engineering Reference the players must initiate the Escape Velocity Protocol or be vaporized by the star.

Manual Override was created in 9-ish days and could benefit from a little more work... Web build is bad

Note: I kinda assume you know what "Keep Talking and Nobody Exlodes" is. If you don't here's the TLDR; One player plays the game, the other player has the manual (pdf download below). The game player may not see the manual and the manual reader may not see the game. The idea is to solve the puzzles with good communication and teamwork.
