It was a good and fun gaming experience but completely off topic as there is no horror in the gameplay and this is required in the jam


Developer

Thank you for playing!  Indeed, besides floating off into space, the horror element is lacking.  Will be updating soon.

I really like your use of the typing game/typing interface to add a sense of panic and urgency to the dialogue! Great visuals, too!  Very clever concept :)

The game design was good . Bad at playing Too short and without purpose . I'm looking forward to a second chapter, you're amazing!

Developer

Thank you for playing!  stay tuned!

Very nice game especially the small details inside the low poly ship the only thing is the game is short and the sentences in the end take a very long time to run and when I was floating I was confused about whether this is the end or not. But overall a nice game with interesting visuals, and ai generated images for characters that’s a genius idea!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Indeed I wish it was longer as well.

Nice game, I actually wanted more haha, good interactive game focused on dialogs with interesting visuals, I had never seen before AI-created images in games, it fit well, the only thing missing was that they were wearing a space-themed outfit.

Thank you for playing! Yeah we are working on fixing the bugs for the second act, so after the voting period we will include that.  Yeah you should totally check it out, I made them with dezgo.com.  And funny you mention that, initially I did have them in astronaut suits, because the seed is random for the AI generation, the suits always looked different, so i opted for generic portraits instead.

Hi Im sorry, I posted in the discord but I forgot to put that in the description here.  You reached the end of the game, we couldn't complete the second the act.  Apologies for the confusion.  Thank you for pointing that out, I have updated the description to let players know.
