THIS IS SO GOOD! I love how the audio mixed so well with the narrative in the beginning of the game and the voice acting for the audio logs *chefs kiss*. Its also such a great organic progression of your last version. 

Cant wait to see what you do next!

Thank you!

Exactly as CJ said! I ma getting more and more "Lovers in a Distance Space Time" vibes now with the map!

Great audio, great NPC's to see again! I wished the log file player could play the audio while I cruise around, but that is just me nitpicking. Great work!

I really enjoyed this entry. The sound design was very well done and evoked a kind of dreamy spacey melancholy. Very cool.

Very cool and elaborate storyline and the whole beginning.

Very apt sound design overall, from music to speech, a big level up from the first round!

Unrelated to this round, but the amount of controls can be a bit excessive, I would recommend to limit it to just the keyboard, and simply autoplay the logs when you pick them up to keep the player immersed in the beauty of space~

Very nice story addition to your round 1 entry with the audio logs! As mentioned in discord before the submission deadline, I think it would be cool if there were some small clues to audio log locations in dialogues you have with the various creatures.

Developer

Thank you!

Really nice story, mysterious and intriguing. I hope I didn't miss the ending, I only got the 5 logs and didn't know if there was any more from there :)

Developer

Did you listen to the fifth log?

Submitted

yes, about the morse code 

Developer

did you see the ending cinematic?

Submitted

no i didn't know where to go after getting the 5th log

Submitted(+1)

Oh I see! yes I finished it! Sorry about that. My mistake not pressing Play on the final log. I only read it the first time.  Great game, great story :)

Developer(+1)

No its ok! Thank you for playing :)

WAW. Seriously a big step up from the previous version, here evrything come together. I was very intrigued by the story and it was great to see these little aliens again. The voice (I don't know if it's yours ?) is very well acted too ! Good job !

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The voice was actually made by ai! It’s this really cool website called eleven labs, there’s a link on the page

I like how you've expanded on the idea, the sound and mood work really well together. Great job.

Developer

Thank you!

You've definitely improved on what was already a great game. The map and audio logs were really cool and I like the screen wrap and the aliens and the story objective, it all works really well together

Thank you!

I was already impressed by this one from Round 1.  And the addition of sound just takes it to the next level.  Really nicely done!

Developer

Thank you!

I really like this one. This is solid, everything feels well together. Very atmospheric, really nice audio, moody art and great dialogues and story. 5 stars.

Developer

Thank you!

Really good job adding the audio story elements! That Minimap helped a lot also, I'm glad it didn't give away the locations of the audio logs though!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

The wrap around really made the game feel a lot better and the minimap really helped to get around to find all of the different locations. The audio felt just right for this type of game. It would be nice to listen to the audio logs while flying around and to have keyboard controls for playing the logs.

Developer

Thank you!
