This game is not really a complete experience, I only had time to implement an introductory scene. I hope you enjoy the art and music and suggestion of a plot anyway :smile:

Good job, and if you expand the game I'd defo check it out.
A wonderful start, I would love to see more of this.
I would be so interested in playing again if you decided to finish up the story somehow. I think it has a ton of potential, and even just in one scene, you sucked me in! I must know more about the Io incident!
It's a shame there is no more to explore.
Good job!
Too bad it's only this one scene, but it was extremely well executed! Atmospheric, matching music, as well! You could make this into a running gag and add one more scene each LD! :P
I never use black for space these days. It looks so much more interesting if you use a really really dark shade of another colour - any colour really, whatever works with your palette! It's nice to see somebody else agrees with me ;)
I don't have that browser to try it out in, but I will maybe try to include some mouse control alternative in any future updates.
But still, really good job on the things you managed to get into the game!
anyway, very nice graphics, music and mood in general. The story is intruguing. after this introdution I would expect some sort of cyberpunk investigation with a few twists. You should definitely develop the rest (although I know it's easier said than done)!
