With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed what I was able to play, I love interactive narratives, and the tone, writing and humour were amazing. Very intrigued by the story, would love to play it up to completion! Both planets I have explored have such brilliant identities, it makes you want to explore them all!
I’m a huge huge fan of interactive fiction and you rarely see one of those on LD, so it’s refreshing!
Very neat, very polished experience. Is it a twine game?
Great job! :thumbsup:
As you've mentioned, having any sort of branching would've made the experience a lot more "gamey". But personally I was mostly expecting to see how other people concluded the probe's journey.
The little music sections did wonders for the mood, and the writing was great!
Good job!
