Too much focus on the writing
TL:DR The team's obssession with interrupting gameplay with dialogue kills the pacing, and, as another reviewer said, this should have been made into a VN instead (although the dialogue would still have to be changed because it's not good enough on its own to carry the game) The team definitely put a lot of care and love into creating Yu and Kay, and you can feel it, from the cute loading screen drawings that depict the characters in events from day to day life to the fantastic and intimate voice acting. However, where the team did not put as much thought into was pacing. In the studios previous work, Furi, expositionary dialogue was limited to these walking sections in between the frenetic boss fights and it was kept brief and vague to service the story, while also keeping the pacing feeling natural and in tone with it being a boss rush game. Haven, on the other hand, went all out on it, explaining things in excruciating detail while failing to stimulate your imagination like a good book would. Not only that, but it also interrupts your gameplay quite frequently and abruptly to the point where you spend more time reading than actually exploring this deserted planet. While the gameplay is not very interesting, it still feels off when control gets taken away from you because Kay has to go on a raving monologue about a plant. P.S. The OST is fantastic and I would highly recommend getting it on Bandcamp
