• I had a lot of fun with this game! Your GDD was very well put together, and explains a lot of the more complicated aspects enough that I could understand the end goal for each of them, such as the conlang. I do think that the theme, "You are the weapon," could have been fit better. I think you were going for something more along the lines of "secret weapon" of an unknown-to-the-other-side translator. However within the demo, I did not really feel any impact of the outcome my translations - right or wrong - to really feel like a secret weapon. Adding more detailed outcomes for either a correct or incorrect translation may help with this. Like if you fail a translation, some text comes up explaining a failed operation on our side due to wrong info and refresh the question. Then a successful operation could be described and lead into the next reference gained from it, like the metal plates. The core gameplay itself was really fun though! Figuring out the map took a moment since I didn't notice the tooltip with the east/west regions explained immediately, but it was mostly smooth sailing from there. The elemental metal plate was a little hard to figure out with the context clues given since I personally do not know molecule structure. Overall, I think your game has a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see what you add if you continue to work on this!
