The intro is great--I love all the vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes. Very lavish.
Unfortunately, I ran into an odd issue as soon as the game started. I was unable to move my character beyond a very narrow arc, maybe 90 degrees total. The result was that I became trapped in the first room I entered, since the door closed behind me and I could not turn around to reopen it.
I restarted the game and had the same problem. I'm not sure if you can reproduce it, since nobody else reports the issue.
The issue with turning was definitely fixed... for a while, at least. This allowed me to play the game for quite a while. Later on, when I accidentally left fullscreen mode and then returned, the issue recurred, and I couldn't get rid of it, even by refreshing the page and restarting the game. :(
Now that I've had a chance to play the game, here are my thoughts:
Great job with presentation. Smooth controls. Nice sound design. Good visual presentation: clean, elegant, with the important pieces clearly marked (I even appreciate the visual distinction between locked and unlocked doors). The view from the bridge is gorgeous.
The story is intriguing. I really enjoyed collecting the bits and pieces of information in a nonlinear order.
Some suggestions for improvement: When adding a new note to my journal, I could not always figure out which one was the new one. A little marker on an "unread" note would be helpful. Also, with my very poor sense of direction, I did have some trouble navigating through the ship, so a map or minimap would also help. Lastly, a minor point: the typography and presentation of the logs should look more like the game itself.
Overall: Very cool game.
Thanks for your feedback!
Speaking of camera, when you left fullscreen mode you need to click on a game screen to rotate camera 360 degrees again as before. I guess, the issue occures with every first-person 3D game. I tried it with Neon Apocalypse, it has the same issue. You just need to click on the screen to rotate 360 degrees :)
