Well that was depressing...

Really liked the story (and the fact that there is no "happy" ending) and the look of the alien. Also, did you slip in a Mass Effect reference ? (The Wrex and Sheperd name drops)

So, good art, good music and a short but interesting story.

Great job !

Yeeeeah, I'm a bit of a scifi fan, so I snuck in a few references for fun.

And yeah, the mood of the game is very sad, but I thought that made the game a bit more unique, even tho I'm not usually for the sad games.

Thank you for the feedback, and for playing!

Cool game! I remembered seeing your post about using a Saurin translator, so I was intruiged to find out about the story. I wasn't expecting Christopher to want to kill the criminals either. It's a shame there was no option to help him, but I enjoyed the story nontheless. Good job!

Really cool entry, I liked the story, it was short and simple. Its alittle sad their is no help the alien route but I get why. Somehow I called what ending 2 would be, but in a kinda good way. There wasnt very much varience on what you could say, it felt like the ending came down to one choice. Game jam time limits be annoying haha.

Great work on the entry, its nice to see story based entries!

I've had multiple people who tried the game comment about how sad it it that those are the two endings. I guess I was feeling a little sad while working on it, and that mood was integrated into the game, ahah

Thanks for playing and for the feedback anyway!
