Maybe an idea like this: the last hour on a colony, where you need to calm people down by talking to them and choosing the right approach so they’ll agree to come with you. Basically, you already have all the mechanics for that — I’d love to see you make something like this :)
*We’d be happy if you check out and rate our game too ^-^*
Nice mood though.
The narrative writing is satirically overt but I guess that's the point, heh. Controls using static cameras is always an issue and it is here as well. It's faithful to the inspiration, I guess. Regardless, excellent entry!
The music fits perfectly and really helps set the mood.
When the two stone guys kissed at the end - that genuinely made me smile!
The only thing that felt a bit inconvenient was that the controls don’t adapt to the camera angle.
It’s a short but very enjoyable experience - great work!
