Ok so this game is a pretty damn solid start. The atmosphere is bleak and spooky, the aliens are creepy gross and kinda terrifying, the gameplay itself is great (albiet with a few rough edges I'll go into), and the art is pretty solid. It was a legitimately heart-pounding and scary dive into an unforgiving abyss full of slimey rape-beast-plants....
As for rough edges, the jump is just too short for a few things that seem perfectly makeable (like when you activate stairs you can't quite jump to the platform from the second stair and you have to be on the very top stair), the grapple mechanic is a little hard to understand since it happens so bloody fast and what certain things mean are not explained BUT it can be figured out through a lot of brute force, the grapple mechanic happens so suddenly and with little warning or buffer that I will still have inputs from trying to move the character but I move her in the grapple game straight into a hazard and instantly lose, losing a grapple doesn't provide enough i-frames or anything to really avoid getting grappled again if there are more enemies, reloading the gun basically throws a few bullets away which I'm not sure if that's intended, the light-activated plants aren't properly signposted as invincible (like the armored pods are) and thus the first instinct to shoot at it ends up wasting like 2 clips of ammo, the light-sensitive plant also isn't super clear that light actually makes it aggressive at first (or maybe I'm stupid. Cause like, I saw the blinking light over it but it took me some time to realize the light affected the plant instead of the plant unpredictibly screeching at random), and the last unique plant thing right infront of the elevator that starts the credits is hard to avoid and jump over (I would walk into it's range a few times trying to get into the door and getting grappled by it puts you on the other side of it again. this might not've been an issue if I had sufficient ammo but I completely ran out at the end, ammo is sooo scarce)....
Anyways sorry for the lack of formatting and the massive wall of text. I really think this game has great potential and I really hope this feedback is helpful. I hope to see this game bloom into the game I think it can be.
