I can't tell what going on for the life of me. At first I was impressed with the tutorial and the intro but then the guy started dying in seconds, I'm left with no choice but to merge, I do that but then I'm stuck in a pretty long cut scene for some reason? I mean its nice that you have a cut scene but it felt like it came out of left field.
I can see a lot of effort went into the art and story but I feel like that is a bit misdirected. You should have a solid gameplay loop then have story, not the other way around.
