I loved the presentation, very clean. The story had the pulp vibe that I love, the switch to a case officer’s report was a nice touch. Good job!

Wow, what a great experience. The tone shifts between first person and the classified report was excellent (especially how the sound switched as well). I also can't be more complimentary of the art and layout, which completely brought it all together. I've also never seen "fruiting bodies" used in a not terrifying way, so that streak continues.

Visuals are great. Loved the interspersing of the text with the black background-- added an extra layer of eeriness.

So many elements I like here: the play of the visuals, narrative, and music together, the play of time (current moment and looking back via the report) in the narration. Very atomospheric. Well done!

I love the creative and almost manga like composition of the images. It expresses a consistent tone and keep me engaged. Really good job and congrats!

Fun fungi! The voice is good, and the classified report bits are effectively used. Nice use of the graphics and general presentation. I found the music pretty grating, though.

This is really neat!  Short but very atmospheric and I loved the switches in narration.

Super-cool visualization of what happens along with the story. I felt like I knew what was coming, but it was fun to play through and experience it all the same. The interface along with the visuals felt very slick, and seeing the images spread out along the window felt uber-unique.

This one definitely struck me as sitting right in the feeling of "Incredible, yet..."!
