So I've played it so far... I cannot get past when you get the file, I have no idea what to do with it and it seems like the 2 judges didn't know how to get past it either, should be easier to explain.
Also some things:
You can't add Kelsey or Hepner or Myers to the database.
And during the SOS, Hepner says his name is Hepburn.
Great game still, just want to get to the end
I figured out the safezone install. It should say in the main screen to be able to run files. When you bring the snapshot back to Tronner and Kelsey, Kelsey says "What did it meant?" instead of "What did it mean?" that same line has another error, i forget. Got the first ending, Preservation. Hepner is called Hepburn again in the ending
My thoughts after beating it: Still love the idea and the gameplay. The game should start out normal, where everything is fine, and make it more gradually broken, to fit the spreading theme (even though you aren't really bound by that anymore, it's still more interesting), like have Selm start you up in secret as a tutorial, and all of the ship is fine, and Selm asks you to get info and generate a report to her to test that you work. Then things start going wrong, then it cuts to where the game begins now, then the sectors start slowly becoming not available. Really excited to see how this game evolves, great work! I think there should be a lot of optional lore, additional modules, and everyone mentioned in the game should be able to be added to the database, I think knowing more about the crew would make the game more immersive
