Top marks. Really great use of Unity and some excellent humour thrown in.
I've researched what would happen if you would actually try to go outside. Contrary what movies would suggest you won't bloat up with bulging eyes and than explode in a fine bloody mist. You could actually remain conscious for up to ten seconds and make a full recovery within 90 seconds!
The more pressing scientific issues are of course why he wasn't just blown out of the airlock and how he could change his direction in space by just flapping his arms.
Answer: Future technology!
All our protagonist knows is that thousands of years ago the solar system was stricken by a horrible disaster. Mankind build a giant arkship to send a population to the nearest hospitable star system. As he wakes up due to a power failure he finds that all other pods are empty. The big question then becomes wether he was abandoned or if his fellow travelers are in dire need of saving.
I ran out of time when I finished the power failure part and never properly introduced the mystery of the missing people.
The 2d/3d-effect was brilliant, and I chuckled and the engine-noises :-)
