I really wanted to like this game. Watching your progress in the Discord really seemed like it had everything going for it graphically. This is one of the most graphically impressive jam games I've ever seen. But unfortunately, presumably due to time constraints, the game fails on the gameplay front. The camera issue's been brought up. I felt nauseated playing with the camera, as in some areas it moved around wildly. Because of the camera, it was hard to gauge where the player was moving. A key thing that was missing that would have helped a lot with that was putting a shadow under the player. And when it's hard to tell where the player is going, the platforming sections become frustrating. I also had a lot of issues with collisions and detection. The railings in the starting area have no collisions, which is  very confusing, because when you have a wall there, you would expect to not be able to walk through it. Many of the terminals weren't working for me even though I was trying to interact with them at every possible angle. Either they were faulty hitboxes or they just didn't have functionality, though if it was the latter then that would be very confusing in determining the game's objectives and where to go. Unfortunately, it seems this game was a victim of a lack of polish due to its focus on graphics over gameplay.
