Great visual style with a good choice of colors, UI looks good as well. I quite like the idea of using external applications to do research for within the game. This looks like a game with a lot of promise, but it really does need a bit of an in-game intro to tell you the goal of the game and what steps to take first, should you continue working on this.

The cursor has issues, but I see you're aware of that already. It doesn't feel like the camera's view/movement is linked to the mouse target quite correctly. I'd add a Cursor.visible = false, too, since you have an in-game cursor in the center.

Also, the drone's movement felt incredibly sensitive. I'm particularly sensitive to this in games, so it may just be me, but it did make me feel dizzy within seconds.

This is lovely! The setting is awesome. The ARG thing is SOOO cool.

Constructive feedback: the controls for me (on a macbook air with touch pad) were really sensitive, even in full screen, so it was hard to point at things, and I couldn't get past the drone part.) And one nit ... in the game description, it would be nice if the "notes from experiences researcher" opened in a new tab. Very nice work and spot on with the jam.

This game is great, and no wonder the team is MASSIVE! Great job, this game is amazing, from the beautiful graphics to the amazing sound design and the documents. This is a great game. I'm excited to see what this team has to offer in the future! Keep up the great work :)

Oh boy this is a big one for a game jam! Really cool vibe, and probably the best use of the limitation I've seen so far.

Thank you so much for the super nice feedback! Our game is actually in a playable state finally, so now I can switch gears and rate, rate, rate starting tomorrow! I look forward to playing yours.

visually this game looks great, but i just could not for the life of me figure out what i'm supposed to be doing, even after looking through the linked docs, i couldn't find any specimen

Hey, thanks for giving it a shot, and the compliment! The game was certainly unplayable before, but we finally have it running. First step is going up to the monitor and entering the drone. I look forward to playing and rating your game now that I have a little time to get caught up on ratings!
