I was lucky enough to playtest this game before its release, but also to have access to the script as I was in charge of translating into French, and the least I could say is THE GAME DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!
First of all, I have to tip my hat to the wonderful flow of the French translation, so gracious and- More seriously though, the prose in the game is truly magnificent, and I seriously had a lot of pleasure to translate it. I didn't even need to do much for things to sound out very good, because of the gorgeous quality of the writing of the original text. It allowed the story to be very immersive, amplifying the short moment it captured.
The art was also beautiful! The red moon, shining in the star, is very oppressing, a constant reminder of the threat, refusing to even allow our unfortunate CERES to think of something else. VESTA looked absolutely gorgeous, she is beautiful, she is grace, she is style, she is very demure. The GUI was also absolutely stunning, but when hasn't it been in an elduator game loool
The music and the voice acting were also both absolutely stellar! Justine's performance was brilliant, touching, sweet and yet grim, and the music accompanied beautifully the false sense of hope the story tries to give. Because, at the end of the day, no matter how much you try to gaslight yourself into believing good things await... there will be a red moon, shining above you, as a constant reminder of a threat bigger than your inner demons.
This really was a stellar game and entry! Thank you for trusting me to help out with it! And congrats to the rest of the team!
