Love the aesthetics, love the way the story is presented and the dialogs being on top of the characters and love the simplicity in the gameplay in general. You get just enough time to ask yourself if you are doing what the game is expecting you to do as the mining loop gets a tad repetitive.
Still had a great time.
Perfect, all the small details really sold it.
I would love an expanded version of some sort, but even as is it was great!
Really interesting concept, would be cool to see how it could evolve as a 'work sim'!
Thanks! It could definitely be expanded. I'll see how many people are into it and might make a longer version in the future.
Like others have said, it's a bit slow to start. However, I was enjoying racing with my fellow hazmat boys to drop each rock in first and was sad when they left without saying bye.
I'm still getting better at pacing lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!
A cinematic, enjoyable story. I would like an additional mode where you need to completely break the meteorite :)
That's a good idea! I might have to do that in the future.
I want to see where this game can be taken and I love the suspense. Good Job!
I think the game loop is the perfect amount, I was just starting to get bored when I realised "oh wait..." and some things started falling into place. The story is simple, but I do think it works well.
I think the actual scares needed a bit more work on them. I think the first abduction stays just a bit too long and the sound effect was just a bit too "normal" to fill me with terror. Promise I'm not shilling for them, but I used the free sampler from PMSFX to create some proper stings for my project which I felt help give a bit more OOMPH to an effect.
Again, really enjoyed it!
I've heard that a few times so I'll definitely work on the scares but I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the advice.
I didn't get the chance to play this because for some reason I couldn't unzip it. But, i watched videos, and I generally liked what I saw! I love the repetitive loop, but a little variety in days would add spice, and the visuals and narrative were interesting to me. I think you shot yourselves in the foot by making a good slow burn of a game with such a sudden ending that for me didn't pay off. But the creature looked great so I that's a big plus, love seeing aliens beyond our comprehension.
It seems to be working on both of my devices. I'm sorry that's happening but I'll look into this. Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for setting off my heart arrhythmia. xD Okay but seriously, love the visual style and how the horror creeps up all subtle as you go about your work. Definitely a nice little game, grade-A job!
Thank you :) Glad you liked it!
Loved the intro and a very sick looking game. Like Punki said in the comment below, I also miss my squad haha
Thank you!!
the pace is very sluggish at the start especially but i really like how long it takes before your crew disappear. it’s just long enough for the job to become routine and so you don’t necessarily notice it right away. the spook at the end got me to, good job on this one!
Yeah, maybe I'll add something else to the beginning to make it feel less sluggish and more creepy. Thank you!
Those lights got me every time, I miss my squad already :'(
They're still out there. Somewhere...
very atmospheric and funny at points, but I got stuck at the lady screaming help, nothing happened there. just a heads-up
I'll look into this, thank you!
