Playability:
Easy to play and understand. Insanely immersive, voice acted, and gives fantastic horror vibes. Incredible.

Theme:
The theme is tied directly into gameplay through use of viewers on a stream. All of the writing ties back to this as well so it's not just an afterthught. This works great and doesn't feel tacked on.

Cleverness:
Using slang such as Internet and Pre-Internet era in a pseudo-dystopian setting is great. The gameplay and implementation feel well thought out and remind me of Bioshock. Awesome job.

Artistic Style:
The whole game feels like it's played from consoles inside of an exploration ship. UI is well designed and consistent throughout. Colored text for different characters and to draw attention. Great overall.

Hey, the ‘go fullscreen to start’ idea is really neat! The game is VERY immersive and a well-crafted experience overall. I loved how the suspense builds up and how much is left to the player’s imagination.
The point when I stopped playing: as I explored more rooms the map kinda got messed up. After that point it was hard to orient myself and I got lost in the end :)

Some minor proposals and bugs:
– I needed some time to get used to the floaty WASD controls
– The response timer for VERA could use more contrast and was little hard to see the first time
– Movement speed sometimes doesn’t feel consistent between different rooms (not entirely sure about this one).
– After reloading my save file, the main menu music kept playing.

All in all, this is really impressive for a game jam! The fact that you managed to create such a solid experience in just two weeks is kind of crazy!

Also that chat responds with "suffering" and "enough" when you do nothing is hilarious haha

This is an amazing game! The polish for the sound effects and the visuals is really good for just a game jam it honestly feels like something out of a full game release!
The game is super long which I didn't expect and it does give that very creepy vibe and is super interesting
I have to say the writing is very well done and it kept me compelled and the voice acting is super well done, like that's something I would expect from a full release game.
Really great game jam entry loved it :D

Wow okay, the whole game was great... But I couldn't finish the game due to some bugs which was a damn shame cause I loved the whole thing except for that. Playing the "Oh Sweet Release" build in browser, I reached the command core and got the black box, at which point Vera said I was infected (I think she actually said it before picking up the black box). I figured I was supposed to enter the override code (I looked at the override panel before getting the black box) and trigger a self destruct, but couldn't get an option to enter a code (the number of days the captain held out for maybe? I did see that before getting the black box, though I did go back after getting the black box to see the number and still couldn't enter a code). I also tried to force my way back onto the Cairn by following the bioluminescence, but after using the fungal sample on the airlock, nothing happened and I was stuck without getting an ending.

Other bugs (minor maybe) I noticed included:

• Screen went dead sometimes, I didn't right click like paupertim, so I don't know if it's the same bug. It occurred after pressing one of the examination options in the observation deck I think, and I was able to reload the page to continue.
• I think we were supposed to get nitrogen from compressor A in order to access the captain's quarters? I was able to get into the captain's quarter without doing that.
• Entering the hangar and stairwell plays Vera's dialogue about losing visual and these old liners respectively every time I entered those areas.
• Opening the input valve in Compressor B locks me in the choice selection with both open valve and close valve buttons available, and doesn't let me go back to exploring. I was able to get out of that screen by reloading though.

There were a lot of great things that I loved too, including but not limited to:

• The slow burn horror and atmosphere while exploring was great, loved gradually finding out what happened.
• Vera's V.O. did a great job, and I loved her character as a constant companion.
• The minimalistic interface was a great way to get around minimal art assets. It even looked like we were watching readout blips of the player character from Vera's perspective which worked great.
• The drifty controls with momentum worked great to give a weightless feeling from exploring a space derelict.

In hindsight all the reloading I did might have broke something and blocked me from getting an ending. You mentioned working on a post-results build to fix bugs, and I hope my report here helps with that and I'd love to get an ending with it. If you need more information, let me know and I'll see if I can help! Oh and one more thing, please let us press space or something to click the buttons when examining stuff! The entire rest of the game could be controlled with keyboard only, and having to use the mouse just to click buttons kinda broke immersion at times. Great work, and looking forward to the final version!

Great game, was spending quite a lot of time going through this and I'm surprised at the length.

I think I may have right clicked or something and I got the black screen bug someone else mentioned, where I couldn't continue.

I'm not a fan of horror games really, but this one sucked me in and I was having fun. 

Reminds me of old choose your own adventure games and muds.

Great work, Great presentation. May have to come back to this one and hope I don't get another black screen to try to complete it.

I got sucked into it quite a bit. The voice acting and live-streaming component provided an extra source of things to pay attention to it and it made the game feel more alive in games like this which can end up feeling very lonely. I also liked the writing a lot, the whole mood and small little jokes thrown at the concept of a luxury space cruise. I read that the puzzles weren't solvable fully and I'm glad that there was a save system in place in order to not lose progress. I did get stuck I believe at the final moment of the game where I jump into the escape pod and my partner tells me to get out, and tells me that if I go back home then I'll bring back whatever has infected me. I continued to walk around and chase the spores around but didn't figure out what to do from that point forward. All in all very compelling and very gripping especially considering this isn't my usual genre to play.

What a vibe. Very compelling, I didn't think it would be for me, but it was for me. The setting, the sfx and the dialogue were super especially with the voice acting. My only complaint was that I found it difficult to navigate at first, not really knowing what the different colours of dots were and then later as the map became very cluttered and some rooms were obscuring rooms underneath. I knew I missed some stuff and then didn't really feel like going back due to not knowing which way to go. Anyway I think my progress through the ship overtook my actual progress through what I was meant to be doing and so I didn't finish and didn't really know how to finish. So I definitely missed something. Anyway. Great game, enjoyed it immensely.

This got me sucked in like no other game jam game ever has. I got really invested in the story, and the mechanics felt super good. I do think I broke it, as the screen went to black at some point in the electrical room.
If this doesn't make top 3 in the jam, I'll be really dissapointed.

God damn this feels like a fully-fledged game. Unfortunately I don't have the time to continue playing, but this is really good. The writing feels solid, and I for sure got the creepy chills reading some passages. The chat is really fun as well, and is surprisingly dynamic, very nice job!

The aesthetics, the polish, and the juice are all there. The interactions feel great. Nothing to point out really, very nice job!
