The idea of an investigator uncovering the fate of the crew is a good one. I was able to determine several of the fates, but got to a point where one of the blood-interaction points wouldn't give me the info for that location. (There's a cryo pod in that room)
I think skippable audio would improve gameplay a little. I had to replay the audio after the first encounter when I learned I needed to pay attention to everything. :)
