I loved the lore and story concepts of this game. The mechanics were definitely a bit unpolished, and the audio was very loud, but the story concept and art are both great starts!

I think Story_Man got almost anything I'd want to say, so I'll just serve as a bit of an echo to their points here. I do kinda like the idea, but it was confusing at first and the prompt that tells you the controls comes way later after you've likely already figured out how everything works trying to navigate a top down space that you can't actually traverse. I think that should've just been at the front in the room you wake up in to prevent that kind of confusion.

The music was cool, if a bit loud and aggressive. I don't think it quite fit with the visuals, but I was liking the vibe it was giving. The spin implementation didn't really fit naturally with the game, I don't think. It kinda felt like it just had to be there cause, y'know. It was the theme. Still though, pretty cool concept here! I did enjoy it despite anything said here. Great work!

This was incredibly atmospheric the gameplay was awesome and simple to pick up one issue I had was at the start I got confused as it looked like a top down game but only left and right worked so I though something was wrong with the controls eventually I figured it out by accidentally hitting space and realizing it was a platformer but I wish it was a bit clearer about being a platformer and not a top down game. I disliked how if you died you had to read the text over and over again and there was no skip button. So I rate enjoyment a 4/5.

The creativity was immaculate you must have a great imagination to come up with such a story! There was no spinning however so even though the creativity was insane I had to rate it a 3/5.

The visuals were really good and again very atmospheric with the dark place and aliens looking creepy and interesting sparking curiosity at the same time as creating fear. The human characters were quite simple and the text seemed like the normal font from rpg maker not sure if you can change the font but if possible I would like to see another font be used for once and your game definitely deserves a new and better font. The game is too good for rpg maker's font. With that I rate the visuals a 4/5.

The audio use was awful while the music was incredible you only had 1 or 2 (I'm unsure) sound tracks and no sound effects! So I rate the audio a 1/5.

Seriousness was the entire games visuals, audio, and story! So I rate this games Seriousness a 5/5!

With that the game gets a 17/25 rating!
