Hey, I noticed this game a while ago but I didn't have time to play a text based adventure. Until today: I finally checked it out and it was good / nice / it reminded me of Eclipse Phase.
I found a bug? Actually I'm not sure, I wouldn't be surprised by a fake error message at this point in the story. Anyway here's a screenshot of it:
Anyway a little feedback for A Planet of Certain Mass:
I loved it!
I felt like the game could make it clearer to understand (outside of text I mean) when the character isn't in control.
It never was very clear what option forces the player forward and what doesn't, this could totally be intentional but in that case I never noticed anything that used it to hammer in a concept / as a trap / as a valuable mechanic.
I really enjoyed the pacing and in particular the first instance of the text just changing ( I was fine / freaked out or something along the line) instead of bringing up more info. In general I really liked that mechanic, the only criticism I have is that it didn't feel right for the choice of eye color, that was a different situation / choice / case than the previous ones.
I'm not really spooped, more like intrigued. Like a story by Agatha Christie isn't really scary but it is mysterious and fascinating. This game reminded me of stories like SCP and those found in the Eclipse Phase manuals.
Uhm, honestly I feel like I forgot one or more choices I made but here's what I remember: I checked my health, I didn't attack the ship, I tried to pull out the girl from the tree, I wrote that the AI was still working.
Finally I only have one question: am I right in thinking that in this future everyone is female? The six grandmas thing and the fact that you're never told your sex (are you? maybe I missed it) is pushing me to believe that, but I'm also unsure if I just didn't pay attention to something at the beginning...
Well that's it for me, have a nice day!
