Enjoyable Demo, But Too Short...
The game has a unique artstyle which I personally liked, and the soundscape is also good (I particularly appreciated how the aliens sound when they speak). The music is good (not exactly memorable, but appropriate) and generally the background noises have good production values, helping with the mood. As a point-and-click, the tone is relatively serious, but there are some bits of humour here and there, and the setting seems generally interesting. The gameplay is pretty standard, and the puzzles were logical. I wish the game didn't restrict some objects to just being examinable OR interactive, but it's probably to avoid writing and voicing non-essential lines (the game uses the standard left-click to interact, right-click to examine, with the mouse wheel bringing up the inventory). The demo is pretty short, so it's hard to form a proper opinion on the game, but overall the protagonist seems to be a good design choice, personality-wise (he is smart and cracks jokes, but he doesn't overdo it, which I believe helps set the tone for the game), and the setting seems intriguing. I'll be paying attention to this project, as I believe it has the potential to be a good adventure.
