It looks splendid, the dialog is great, and the story is already deep and matches the theme. I would love to see this made into more. The only suggestion I would have would be a more obvious foreground\/background. It took me a few sudden deaths before I realized the green blocks were not in the background."},{"author_name":"Sean Noonan","author_uid":"25406","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:14am","epoch":1387177740,"text":"Sooooooo much polish but so little game.

From the screenshots I was expecting an action heavy game, but the warning got me into the right frame of mind so I could enjoy the story rather than wait for the action to happen!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Though the whole thing felt rather condensed I did enjoy the little story, the choice and morals based around the rights of sentient AI is always interesting, especially as it's something we may have to deal with in our own life times. You made good use of the theme, the graphics were lovely (per usual) and the music fitted well to help build the atmosphere.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice work, it was an overall enjoyable experience!"},{"author_name":"soy_yuma","author_uid":"7620","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 7:11pm","epoch":1387393560,"text":"The graphics are outstanding :-) I like the submarine controls, although I got killed three times before understanding it's sensitive stuff!
