Concept

The Ark is a puzzle VR game in which you have to repair broken animals with a stapler on a space station. The Earth was destroyed in a nuclear war, and the last surviving humans fled Earth in a spaceship named Ark.

Somehow, animal body parts were blasted into space and humans saw an opportunity to save the biodiversity of the now lost Earth. You are a trainee who is learning international space management, and you were born in space and have never seen an animal before.
