The worldbuilding is great in this one - loved the contrast between the common and the affluent areas, the hoverbike, how hazardous Martian sand is, and the nefarious forces at play. The main character is believable and complex, and it was interesting to follow her investigation.

I enjoyed this experience; investigation stories are always intriguing and keep you hooked, and this one was no exception, with nice and immersive writing. As a bit of constructive feedback, I could suggest adding more variables to check if certain events have already happened, since on several occasions you end up in loops that take you back to the same scene. This breaks the flow and shatters the 'invisible box' that a video game or interactive fiction is in this case. Beyond that, I really enjoyed the experience and had a fun time solving this case—just another day in the life of Bailey.
Great storytelling and really intriguing player character! I liked how the theme was incorporated into the game as well. Nice work! :)
Incredible and thorough storytelling. The world feels real and lived in. We liked the proggression of the story!
Just a tiny note: the player can loop the "grab a snack" option when at the Office and fully refill his resilience points.
Great job overall!
The setting is very cool and the story is interesting and well written! I enjoyed solving the case, the gameplay mechanics are engaging and make you feel the stakes behind your decisions
Oh, the atmosphere is great! You had my attention right from the intro. Nice game!
