I'm very glad that this game is being continued, because what I've seen so far looks wonderful!

It has so many things in it that I like:

• An excellent, interesting theme - the idea of going back in time to save humanity from destroying itself is fascinating and positive. It really motivates you to play the game, because you're striving towards such a good and important goal.
• An attractive visual style - I like the simple but expressive pixel art.
• A great sci-fi setting - I love sci-fi, and the idea of travelling through a strange void between time is strange and exciting.
• Support for good political ideas - The game is about saving humanity from war and destruction, which shows a good and healthy social conscience and concern. Plus, it shows good, positive support for different gender identities.
• Interesting characters - I've only seen 4 characters so far, but I already want to spend more time with them! They're varied and all interesting in their own ways.
• Humour and lightness - despite the grimness of the setting and the themes, there's still funny parts and the characters still show enthusiasm, determination and a sense of fun. This makes the game a lot more enjoyable, and helps give a sense that the characters are doing something positive, striving towards a worthy goal. (I particularly liked Pawse and their joking around!)
• Simple controls.

I only have a few problems with the game:

• When in the void, the arrows point in diagonal directions - this makes it a bit confusing which button I'm supposed to press. The 'up' arrow points up, but it also points to the right - should I press 'up' or 'right'? The 'down' arrow points down, but it also points to the left - should I press 'down' or 'left'? Maybe the void squares should be tilted around, so that the directions are more clearly up, down, left and right.
• When people are talking, it would be nice if there was a way to speed up the text that appears on the screen, or to just have all the text appear in one go. Still, I understand that this is a game that was published for free, and seems to be more of a taster of a larger game to come, so I understand if not everything convenient could be put in.

All in all, I really hope that this game gets continued. There is so much potential here, and I would gladly pay money to play VO1D D1V3R5 with a much longer, much deeper story, more void to play around in, and more fascinating weighty issues to explore.

Best of luck, and thank you for making this!
