Nice!
I think that being able to control other elements in the level (besides the main character) could be the mechs that make this game unique together with the storyline and the lore. The lore gives me mysterious and philosophical vibes, that I liked! Obviously, as you wrote on the project page, there is some work/polishing/expansion to do but you are on a good start, and having already a solid lore/storyline as foundations is great!
