(Thanks to the player before me -- because of your guys conversation above I got to finish this game!)

There is so much things I like about this game so I am gonna go one by one.

This game has such a good aesthetics. When I say aesthetics, I don't just mean visual, but the combination of design/mechanics, visual (environmental, UI, special effects), and sound. All builds a slightly apocalyptic, philosophical, and contemplative environment. They all echo with each others to strengthen the core idea of the game.

I really like your groups' take of the idea. The cover image strengthen the game's connection with the theme. Further more, I like your mentioning of nihilism there. I am not super familiar with it (I actually have to google just now), but if I am understanding correctly, it has a lot to do with the belief that life is meaningless. And you mentioning of cannot prove what is real outside of oneself gives me a suggestion of solipsism. -- which, both are very interesting as a context of the game. It does make me question who am I, both my role as a player in a digital world and my role in the game.  It really feels like a game discussing what is real and what is not when I am watching a 3D environment from a 2D UI, which usually is the inverse because I am currently in a 3D world looking at a 2D screen.

Back to the game. My favorite mechanics is probably the simple puzzles (selection of image what is real, pick out the words, and trolley problem). All of them emphasize the theme of the game, and really well prepared for the last conversation I had with the humanoid in the screen. The notes and stories of all the crew members also comes back to asks the question again what is human and what is real here. The last bit to ask me physically finding a phone and scan the code was also insane. It really blew my mind, and made the game on screen bleed into real life. 

More on the actual game, I do really appreciate you having the option to turn the screen shake off because I have motion sickness. But a slight bug, even when I turned it off, it do not work after I switch camera. When I turn the option on and off, the camera shakes again. Otherwise, there is no other complains I have.

Thanks for this amazing game! You guys should be proud of yourself.

Thank you so much for your comment! WOW!!!!Seriously, as a developer, there’s no better feeling than waking up to see someone not only playing my creation but sharing such a thoughtful review. I’m honestly moved to tears—thank you, thank you, and thank you x3000!<3
谢谢你的评论！哇，作为开发者，有什么比一睁开眼睛就看见自己的创作被游玩并认真评论更加幸福的事情呢。感动得快流眼泪了。十分感谢您的游玩，谢谢你x3000次。

truly means a lot to us that the way we chose to express the idea resonated with you. Exploring existentialism and nihilism through interaction across the screen was a bit of a risky move for us. With a very simple flow and a tight production schedule, it often felt like there wasn’t much room to carry big ideas. That’s why seeing you mention solipsism was especially encouraging.
能够被认可诠释的形式实在荣幸。通过屏幕双边的交互来探讨存在主义与虚无主义对于我们来说是步险棋——简单的流程、制作工期的限制，似乎难以装下太多的想法。您能提到唯我论真的令我十分振奋。

In fact, it was one of the core ideas behind the narrative: we’ve always felt that playing most games can resemble a kind of “player-centric solipsism,” and this project was our attempt to show what a non player-centric perspective might feel like.
事实上，在撰写叙事脚本时正是以此为基础：我认为玩大多数游戏的过程会有些像"唯玩家论"，我们的制作正是在尝试呈现给玩家"非唯玩家论"是何种情景。

We’re also deeply grateful that you took the time to scan the QR code—that was another unconventional experiment on our part. We really hope you enjoyed that section.
我们也非常感激您花时间扫描了二维码——这是我们又一次不同寻常的尝试。我们真心希望您喜欢那个部分。

Lastly, the issue with the screen-shake button not working has already been passed on to the programmer in charge. Thank you very much for the report!
最后，关于屏幕震动按钮无法使用的问题已经转交给负责的程序员了。非常感谢您的反馈！

Once again, heartfelt thanks for playing.
再次衷心感谢您的游玩。

No worries! Probably as a personal preference, I really like games that has a complete core and that I can see player intention. That was why I make games, and that was why I like to play games. And as a developer, I found unfortunately a lot of times intentions and core idea was not the player usually see...so I am trying to leave feedbacks for games that I see are doing that, and games I personally likes. Call that as, I am exercising my rights as a player to influence the market lol

I honestly might be a biased player as I am personally familiar with existentialism, which by adjacent is also near nihilism and solipsism. These are complicated and tricky ideas to introduce to a game, not gonna lie, and I really believe you guys did a fascinating job on understanding the core of such idea, and introduce them into your work. 

Even more biased, I also like playing with the idea of making player not the center of the game. Seeing a game that also breaks such expectation was quiet thrilling for me. 

Thanks for showing us your work.

不好意思啊做了很多年的留子所以更习惯用英文写作。没事！！我真的非常喜欢你们的作品。我个人非常喜欢我能看得到作者意图和想法的游戏，至少这是我为什么做游戏，也是我为什么喜欢玩游戏。虽然残念的是这需要玩家的耐心和思考，而很多时候我的想法不能被很好的get到，说实话有的时候还挺悲凉的作为创作者来说，毕竟至少我创作就是为了讲我的故事和表达我的观点。所以说我会大力营销我喜欢的游戏，算是我行使我小小的私心，作为玩家的权力来影响市场向我喜欢的方向前进吧。

说实话我应该是挺带有偏见的玩家，我个人对存在主义挺熟悉的（看过加缪的《鼠疫》），所以顺带着也听过存在主义，虚无主义，和唯我/唯心论。说实话，这么复杂的概念在游戏中呈现起来真的很麻烦。我觉得首先你们至少真的很有勇气来做这么复杂和深刻的主题！其次能看得出你们真的是想把这个主题深刻的做进去的。全篇没有任何一个地方提到了这个主题，但是我玩完以后阅读了你们的游戏描述，完全就理解了你们的创作意图。太喜欢太震撼了...我真的玩到最后鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。到最后有点让我想起《攻壳机动队》，算是我最早的赛博+人+电子世界故事的启蒙了。你们的游戏表面平静但是底下藏了很多立场对立的冲突，实在是喜欢。

我也很喜欢做挑战玩家在交互/创作中的可行使权力和探讨他们的角色的东西。所以这个游戏真是每一个都踩在我偏好上了hhhhh

非常感谢你们带来这么优秀的作品！！
