Thank you for the feedback!
I would say the meta-decision of whether you failed or not it up to you.
You are free to play as much as you want to get whatever ending you want.
If you are happy with 1 run, whatever the outcome, then that's fine too (there are entire games based on this!).

Yes, I understand what you mean.
I have seen some people have trouble telling who is talking.
You have to really pay attention, which is not ideal.
I added the colours to try to help with that; but it might not have been enough.
Two characters (both from your crew) have similar colours to try to show they are aligned; but that probably makes it harder to tell who is whom.
