Liked the atmosphere very much here. Was surprised by more than one ending, and absolutely enjoyed intro with its 2d art!
On the downside, navigating the logs was very bothersome.

Hi! What happened when you experienced a bug trying to enter the password? Could you describe the bug?
Footsteps' sound is actually loud, I agree. We are working on the next portion of minor bugfixes where we'll lower it.
In terms of the story, we tried to make it like a generic hollywood movie intentionally. So, no wonder the story felt cliche :)
Speaking of the endings, the one where you need to find 4 codes to open a sarcophagus (cargo) is the most difficult. It takes 2 short quests to find missing pieces of code. One quest is to fix the wire at the Cargo Bay, and another is to check the ventilation with the drone at the Engineering Deck. The ending you are describing is the shortest,if I'm not mistaken as there are two computers which lead to endings. One computer asks you whether you want to escape or stay on the ship. Another terminal offers a variation of two endings for you to decide. So there is always a choice:)
This computer is designed to provide only 2 choices of ending the game. Congratulations, if you've reached this far. You've completed the game and achieved one of four endings :)
As for the issue you're experiencing, when you press E to interact you don't see this panel with the numbers as on the picture I attached, right?

Hi! I'm sorry to hear it. We're working on fixing things and going to drop an updated version today. I hope your next experience will be better!

We've fixed the issue you described. It would be great if you could try it out again and give an additional feedback :)
The issue with turning was definitely fixed... for a while, at least. This allowed me to play the game for quite a while. Later on, when I accidentally left fullscreen mode and then returned, the issue recurred, and I couldn't get rid of it, even by refreshing the page and restarting the game. :(
Now that I've had a chance to play the game, here are my thoughts:
Great job with presentation. Smooth controls. Nice sound design. Good visual presentation: clean, elegant, with the important pieces clearly marked (I even appreciate the visual distinction between locked and unlocked doors). The view from the bridge is gorgeous.
The story is intriguing. I really enjoyed collecting the bits and pieces of information in a nonlinear order.
Some suggestions for improvement: When adding a new note to my journal, I could not always figure out which one was the new one. A little marker on an "unread" note would be helpful. Also, with my very poor sense of direction, I did have some trouble navigating through the ship, so a map or minimap would also help. Lastly, a minor point: the typography and presentation of the logs should look more like the game itself.
Overall: Very cool game.

Thanks for your feedback!
Speaking of camera, when you left fullscreen mode you need to click on a game screen to rotate camera 360 degrees again as before. I guess, the issue occures with every first-person 3D game. I tried it with Neon Apocalypse, it has the same issue. You just need to click on the screen to rotate 360 degrees :)
