Amazing visual novel! The graphics are top notch and the voice acting is perfect! Each character feels unique in terms of visuals, writing (personality), and of course distinct voice acting! I find Laika very likeable in particular. The occasional console text gives a good varient from normal dialog progression.
Now for the story (SPOILERS AHEAD):
The story lies a a core theme of what does it mean to be human. All of the cast are not human in the literal sense. However, as a reader, I find them very human, and the story present this very well. For example, Laika enjoys Saturday night metal music, which is a very human thing to do. The plot progresses with a crisis of an incoming hostile alien fleet. The protgonist was scrambling for a solution while exploring their identity. The ending (Metal music!) I got was incredibly satisfying, but it doesn't connect back to the theme of human identity. I think it would be better if the plot and the theme are better integrated.
But overall a super solid entry! Thanks for the game!
