FAQ:
? The game does not fit in my browser.
* You can unzoom in your browser the game supports it well. I won't change the size for now, it could change too many things ^^
# Bug fixed:
* A dead / arrested crew member wasn't reappearing after a retry

Just a thing : maybe you should make the game smaller. It doesn't display entirely in my browser, and I had to unzoom thrice to see the whole windows.
bug: the doctor if you arrest him will not be on the ship next time after you die and restart...
I think I sent the pilot to jail and then he never came back on a restart.
Even though I never quite understood it was fun to read the text and the game looked good and sounded nice.

- The english is poor I know, did my best. I shouldn't have write the dialogs at end of jam too
The language is manageble even thought its a bit wrong sometimes.
There is a little bit of randomness though. If you know exactly what to do to "win" (the real win is to play the game ^^), you have 75% chance to have the win ending.
Life is unfair (You can sing it if you want).
Did you though about making the captain and the ship/computer another character? Maybe a hidden stowaway? I think introspection monologue with the captain would be interesting.
This clicks are free and does not move the game forward.
You are right the game fells in a die and retry gameplay after some plays, it's a bit wanted and assumed but I don't know what to think about that. To go further in it I would have assigned one color per dialog line, it would have make easier to fast play the same dialogs.
The important part for me is the adventure, the dialogs, the background, the strategy, the urgency emotion and the story telling, not the mini die and retry game... Have to think about that to progress I believe.
@mortus: You are right, doctor may win the fight if you decide to start a fight ^^ But it is not mandatory to do so. It's not the same for the pilot but I won't say more.
