What an impressive comment! Thank you.
We envisioned a more intricate story than simply "saving your sister from aliens." Our goal was for players to uncover the mystery of what happened to the colony and understand Max's connection to it through a series of clues. However, given the uncertainty that players would notice all the details and how the protagonist's perspective might influence their interpretation, we decided to add stronger hints as a compromise.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it!
