It has a well-made beginning, that makes you curious about how the story and the mystery is going to unfold. I found myself easily charmed by the characters. I also thought that the sprites fit the science-fiction theme and the 3D backgrounds. Even the music was well chosen. Naturally, one would have wished for more expressions, but some compromises have to be made for every game jam. Even though it's a whole new world that the player is put into, I never thought there was too much information dumped on me, and I could still follow the story. I also hope that the team continues this project, as I want see more of this!
