I have just played the game (demo) through.
There is so much to praise about this, holy cow. I'm not even dead yet, that's how alive I feel playing this.
The world is immersive while yet alien. Too many games- almost every one I've yet played that takes place on an "alien" world- still makes it much too human-like and recognizable, while still presenting themselves as hard-sci-fi - in the form of TMI culture details - and visuals, resulting in just an awkward and nauseating cyberpunk experience with humanoids and human-like technology that are supposed to not be human. Looking at you, Freedom Planet and Mass Effect.
By contrast, Black Resin's world is truly alien, by visuals and by presentation, with no spoken English; only a light touch of written English for the sake of control grasping; and the technology -individual items as well as the collective technological environment, largely looks like it has followed a different path of development from human technology.
It is otherworldly, and yet not self-assumingly so; I admit this next part I still don't know all the reasons for: The fantasy element in this science fantasy game seems worldly and tame enough for the material/sci-fi stuff to make sense, even be and feel essential, yet just high enough to allow suspension of disbelief both for the similarities to our own world as we know it, and for the logic used in the game's own fictional universe - both the gameplay aspects such as enemy AI, and the architecture of the factory being so conveniently in place for the Black Resin to make her way through.
Admit I, there's so much else to say. For now, this is what I want to say, while I can still remember it through my excitement.
I am very eager to see how Black Resin advances. I am new to this "itch.io" website; if there's a way to sign on for a Black Resin newsletter, please inform me.
