I'm so glad I gave this one a chance. The story was so compelling, you did and amazing job at building up their characters.
Ah… this reminded me of something I read a long time ago.
It was an astronomy article about how, once the Sun becomes a red giant, the ice and water contained in objects around the Kuiper Belt and among smaller bodies in the Solar System could begin to melt, potentially creating environments where life might emerge. The idea was that the Solar System might actually become more full of life than ever right before it dies.
I remember thinking at the time, “I wonder what kind of thoughts living things in the Betelgeuse system would have every day?”
Maybe that’s why I really liked the setting of this game. Also, I just love space. Honestly, I think I automatically like anything with a space setting, so… yeah. I liked it. Hehe.
That said, if it were me, I might try changing the font to something a little cleaner. There’s a certain visual image people tend to expect from sci-fi, right? Usually something more angular, with stronger straight lines and a sharper look.
At the same time, this game’s overall atmosphere isn’t particularly rigid or cold, so I probably wouldn’t go too far in that direction either. Maybe something like Times New Roman, or… honestly, I’d just experiment with a few different options and see what fits best.
