I loved the storytelling of being able to influence the other part without being there. The dialogue was on the precise drama point and the scenes were very evocative and easy to imagine!
The main mechanic is very cool. I think the choices might be a bit unintuitive at times (as in I found myself trialing and error a couple times) and an overpass of the UI could help buttons getting buried (maybe just a bit bigger).
Looking forward to the complete vision!
