A cute game with endearing characters. I especially liked the use of real-world footage for the meteor shower and you are clearly very passionate about the subject.
The character art is cute, using photos with a heavy filter for the backgrounds suited the style very much and the idle animations gave a lot more life to Dawn than a static image would have, which I found rather neat.
I like the idea of an educational game focusing on navigating by the stars, though my main issue is that this navigation is a bit inaccurate.
Polaris should really be in the north, not the big dipper (even though that is much more visible). I also liked changing the navigation after a certain point, but since the picture of the night sky didn’t change, all of the sudden the directions were wrong, going North>West>South>East in a clockwise fashion starting at the big dipper. These are not huge issues, but with how much this game is about teaching basic astronomy I think it’s worthwhile to sacrifice some simplicity for accuracy.
Narratively I liked the interactions between Dawn and the MC and was quite fond of the twist at the end, but I think the MC should have more reason for being there. Being constantly confused about everything and knowing nothing of what is going on makes the character feel a bit hollow, bordering on incompetent which makes identifying with them harder than it should be, in my opinion.
The navigation also confused me a bit at the start, though it was fairly easy to figure it out: I imagined craning my head back when looking up, so that the thing at the top of the screen would point behind me, the downwards arrow. The way you do it, where the position in the sky is the position of the arrow is probably more sensible but I still had to double-check the sky two or three times to make sure I selected the right direction.
All in all a simple, well executed story with a lot of cool fun facts and some puzzly elements that support the flow and could teach some practical knowledge at the same time.
