Less is more but with endless reading
Really like the idea but the game has a few big flaws. You progress from node to node, visible on a hub. Each node has a name and some text attached to it. E.g. a node could be called "silt dune" and have some descriptions of the scenery. Some of these texts add to the game but when every single node, of which there are perhaps a thousand, has some text attached to it and few of them are actually any interesting, it just distracts. I'm sure I skipped several interesting stuff simply because I didn't feel like reading about how some algae floats around in slightly brackish water for the third time. For me, and possibly many others who don't really see the point with closely studying a made up ecosystem, fewer entries but overall higher average interst per entry would be better. Its worse when in some areas, e.g. poisonous water or in areas where you cant refill your fuel or oxygen, don't have the time to read the entries you would find interesting. Overall intersting concept but could be streamlined without losing out on any qualities. Some areas, with branching paths etc, are just unnecessarily messy time wasters. You could visit each node to read descriptions and collect samples if you are into that. If not, you'll more likely prefer the game to be more straight forward. Unless you like reading, collecting samples offer little of value. You can refill fuel, oxygen etc, but the game is rather easy, it's more an exploration game than a survival game. Main thing you get is entries in your computer, where the more samples you collect of certain organisms, the more detailed logs you can read about them. Again, this is a bit much for a made up ecosystem. I prefer reading wiki articles about actual organisms. Some organisms can also be used a bombs etc in simple puzzles. I especially hated searching large areas for some small node. If not for those sections I'd given a 4/5. Main strengths: setting, graphics, music, atmosphere. Great job on these.
