I found your review! Thank you for sharing your honest opinion! Your honesty is exactly what I want to hear.
I'm going to share it here in this comment for you since it seems itch.io doesn't just show reviews to other users, just the rating, which is a shame on itch.io's part. I think it's good to have your words shared here. Doing this on mobile so I hope the formatting turns out alright.
"This is a very interesting game and deserves a special place on the shelf, but I have one major complaint. It didn't properly set my expectations for what was to come. As a result, I had a hard time with the initial entries, dealing with mixed singles for the vibe or overall goal. And when I finally saw the direction it was going, I was disappointed and a little upset. I wasn't prepared for this kind of story and it hit me a lot harder than I was ready to handle. So I'm going to try and help anyone else who sees this review.
Echoes In My Hull is a solo journaling game about character drama, relationships, personal connections, loss, and tragedy. This is your final journey and you will come to understand your crew in new ways as you see them struggle, triumph and connect with each other and even with you. Sometimes life ends in tragedy, which makes enjoying the journey all the more important. At least then, the echoes that remain are ones of happiness and joy
New Player Suggestion:
Understand this will be your LAST journey. I'd recommend spending some time at the beginning identifying what this trip actually is. I played a junk hauler and had it undergo many small missions to start, and I think that took away from the overal impact and build of the story. Just a thought though. You do you, and make sure you're ready for some heavy emotions."
