Zero G — work-in-progress cut

The player above holds the current five-minute render, re-rendered 12 September 2026 with fuller lab sets, more crew in shot and reworked lighting. Shots are still being replaced as the final animation lands, so treat it as a preview rather than the finished film.

The Gravitron

The shining core stabiliser B-17 has to carry back into the shaft. The last ninety seconds of the film are the game's core mechanic, played for real.

No dialogue

Six robots, one station, and a countdown. Everything is told through the room.

Two web encodes

720p by default, 1080p behind the quality toggle. The full-quality master stays in the production repo.

Placeholder: the finished short, the trailer and the festival cut will be published on this page. The distribution plan — and whether that means a hosted player or a channel — is not fixed yet.

Beat sheet

Five minutes, six beats.

The short shares its setting with the game: the same ring, the same core, the same robots — and the moment the puzzle mechanic becomes a rescue.

00:00

Peaceful station

Life hums above the planet. Robots work, lights breathe, the gravity core holds steady.

01:30

The big experiment

Power climbs from 70 to 100 percent. One number goes red. The room waits.

02:30

The explosion

Flash. Shockwave. Debris everywhere. The station starts to forget which way is down.

03:30

Lost in space

Sections break away. The planet fills the windows. Orbital control goes silent.

04:00

The mission

B-17 takes the Gravitron from its cradle and enters the broken gravity shaft.

04:30

Final puzzle

Every move changes gravity and the room. The timer reaches five seconds. The Gravitron is one slide from its mount.

On board

Who is in it.

No dialogue, six robots, one station. B-17 carries the film.

Maintenance

Unit B-17

The hero of the short film. Small, dented, and the only unit still moving when the gravity core lets go.

Worker class maintenance robot from Gravity Station

Hull crew

Worker class

Carries plating and welds the ring sections. Built for load, not for speed.

Science class maintenance robot from Gravity Station

Core lab

Science class

Runs the gravity experiments that made the station famous — and then infamous.

Security class maintenance robot from Gravity Station

Ring patrol

Security class

Heavy chassis, magnetic feet. Keeps working when the floor stops being the floor.

Cargo class maintenance robot from Gravity Station

Dock module

Cargo class

Six legs, four clamps, endless crates between the shuttle bay and the ring.

Service class maintenance robot from Gravity Station

All decks

Service class

Sweeps the corridors nobody visits. Saw the first warning light before anyone else.
