I've played some great indie games and some interesting social commentary games. I did not expect this to be both and I'm so glad I had no idea what this was about until I played it. I only saw the Metroidvania tag via RetroAchievements and checked it out.
Excellent game with good progression, some great visuals and an overall well-designed style of gameplay. The brilliant "lore" is just a bonus on top of all that.
If I had one nitpick: I personally found the first boss harder than the final boss on my first playthrough. I would have liked it if the first boss was maybe 5%-10% slower which would have made me more likely to learn the attack patterns before dying a good few times. (I played on Normal mode so not sure if that makes a difference)
Other than that, I am disappointed that someone posted about an Easter egg that I didn't find. I was gonna play it again in hard mode anyway, but I hope I find the Easter egg too!
Well done on a very cool game and I wish you nothing but success!
