Some thoughts

First of all, thank you for your hard work on this game! The quality of the art and the writing is solid. The story is intriguing, and there are some truly tense moments, especially when MC is in the space suit getting the medicine. The characters are good, and the 'squid people' are generally unsettling and feel appropriately alien. The music choice during their conversationss adds an extra level of unease. Really nicely done!

Two humble critiques:
First, I thought the prologue was too long. It is definitely an interesting and unique choice to set up the game that way, but I feel it would be more effective if it were shorter. Maybe one shorter action scene each for Veera and the commander, and have the characters explore their feelings about their choices later in conversations with MC.
Second, unfortunately, the romances were a miss for me. (I played through two: the commander's and Khalil's.) Even if I hadn't flirted once with a particular character, there was the option to take things to the next level. And, in general, things felt rushed. For example, I think the MC had maybe 2 conversations with the commander before getting the option to get intimate. (I realise they spent more time together in the hospital that's not shown, but it still felt very rushed.) I know the romances are not the main focus of the game, and that's as it should be, but compared to the main story, they felt like a step down in quality. (And the way the doctor's hand lingered while touching MC... DURING A MEDICAL PROCEDURE!!!... if any doctor did that to me, I would be completely uncomfortable and disgusted and never go to that doctor again.) Anyway, that's just my opinion, and I'll probably just choose the friend route from now on, lol.

Again, overall excellent work by your very talented team! I look forward to the next chapter!

Thanks for the feedback! I can't make any promises since we're hard at work with Epi 4, but if possible we'll try to circle back and resolve some of these issues!
