Theme interpretation
I chose to mix some of the literal interpretation (spaceflight) with the risks and challenges of business, distance, isolation, and relationships. As an interactive fiction I used it to explore the theme through language.

Very interesting story so far. I enjoy interacting with the different characters and it sets up a good level of intrigue and conflict. "Unknown" really catches my attention in particular, and the game succeeds in creating a feeling of temptation in terms of wanting to give in to curiosity even while building care for the mission.
Hey this was very immersive, liked it a lot! I was playing it during one of my video reviews, I cut out a bit as this one I recommend people to play!a
Very nice story! And I like the way you framed Ink with images and frames: it really works well.
damn, that was waaaay deeper than I expected. I like the humour and overall mood.
This story is really interesting. I was enjoying it, but it seems to have hung on me. I filed an issue on GitHub. I hope that helps! Thanks for making this game!
Wow, amazing story and writing, the development of characters and the plot, so engaging! Reminded me of Orwell and Hacknet Wow²!
I didn't finished the whole mission unfortunately, but looks like I'll give another try soon.
Good narrative !
