I remember reading your original post and had rather high expectations, so to see the narrow scope of the game (just the first part of three main "stages") was a bit disappointing. The execution and writing was great though. If you ever expand it I'd give it another go. It felt like it was ending just as it was getting interesting.

I had a lot of fun playing this, it felt really immersive and I liked that I had to keep an eye on my thirst level and make tough decisions. I liked the simplicity of the three locations, and the unexpected visitors to the dusty path. Would definitely play this again.
