*(Revisiting for some more in-depth feedback)

Ok so let's start with the game page here - I really appreciate the colour palette you've used, it's easy on the eyes & has good readability. Adding in a back story in the game description (of someone needing help) gave some extra depth, I like when games do this because it helps me to connect with the story/gameplay better. 

Now onto the gameplay - this is a very good game. At the start it felt like I was watching a movie & I became quite engrossed in it (lengthy for an introduction but something I would watch if it was a story on YT). It's the little touches in this game that make it special, like the automatically opening doors on approach, the change on camera on interactions, the slow reveal of dialogue. It's a very creative game & you can tell a lot of thought went into this to make it so the player felt connected to the world they were in. 

What I liked the most: The writing. The incorporation of your own language for the aliens is just so cute & funny, it really added to the feeling I was somewhere non-Earth like. World building in games is not an easy thing to do - but you've done a wonderful job at that here. Adding in a feature where you could radio in to the alien was genius & left me wanting more.

What could be improved on: The introduction was sooo long, I would've loved an option to make the dialogue go faster & some music or SFX added in (in general with this too). Also would love a 'run' option because I like to explore maps in games like this, so I'll revisit areas often & having a running option would make this much easier to do. 

TLDR; Innovative game that made ME feel like the alien. It has puzzles, is story-rich & leaves you wanting more. A must play if you haven't had the chance to & one to play more than once.

I just looked at your original comment and realized what you were saying on discord, that you thought it was one of the ones I was complaining about! I didn’t feel like you were being lazy with your feedback at all. But thank you so much for following up, this is such a great comment and I totally agree with your criticism. I think I want to keep working on this game, and shortening the intro and adding a run option will be two things that are high on my list. Good luck in the rest of the jam!
