Ann Hugo rated Esther Has No Voice

Hi Isaac,

I really love the game! I like the voice, the characters, the story so far, and, well, basically all of it. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen I was so engaged, like when you read a really good book. I genuinely felt like I was in the world as the story played out. I'm very eager to see where you take the story.

A couple things. 

I didn't mind all the exposition, but it may be a good idea to put it into a scene instead. Like some showing in the scene, specifically with the character relationships, but also some telling. If you want to get the backstory in right away, then I imagine it could be integrated into the scene. The exposition just felt a little long and slow. A scene might be better for keeping the players hooked from the beginning. 

Also I got the same feedback from a couple beta-testers and I thought that you might find  it useful. The arrow to go back (or forewards) in the story can be kind of hard to see. Some players of my game didn't see it at all. So, I put in some code to make the arrow brighter. Just a thought.

Anyway, the game is absolutely awesome!
