I just want you to know I've been ranting nonstop to my friends about how perfect this game is.
I'm a weirdo who mods Skyrim until it turns into "camping in the woods freezing to death" simulator - who grew up playing 'House' in videogames that absolutely were not designed to play 'House' (hoarding bananas like food in the og Mario Kart 64) - who craves an immersive sim that really scratches that itch. And boy, does this do that.
The mechanics to clean up and decorate the base make me giddy, dragging a bucket of water and a sponge only to spill the water halfway down the hall. I lost my shit when I realized I could not only microwave my food (in a working microwave with a rotating platter!), but I could accidentally over-microwave my food and burn myself trying to eat it. I saw an entity on the radar and turned to sprint towards the door to go chase it down, and tripped over a drive box I'd thoughtlessly left on the floor.
There's magic in this game, and I hope you know we see it. Not just the cool alien shit, but every detail you've no doubt spent countless hours implementing and perfecting. Thank you for all your hard work, and I look forward to whatever you've got planned for the future.
