Buildings that thaw the frozen land around them is a lovely idea. You said you've played it too often to see it fresh and you want to know the exact moment someone wanted to close it. Written feedback usually misses that moment, a recording doesn't. I run First Impressions: a player I've met plays the demo cold, records the screen and their voice, and answers your three questions, and I review it before you get it. First one is free if you want it: firstimpressions.quest/make

Hi, being stuck in a broken-down car with only the doors and windows to work with is a strong setup, and 10 minutes is a nice length for a first look. You asked for someone to record their first playthrough, which is exactly what I do. I run First Impressions, a small playtest service: a player I've met on a video call plays it cold, records the whole night with game audio while talking out loud, then answers your four questions. I watch every recording before it reaches you, so you only get usable ones. The first test is free: firstimpressions.quest/make

Hi! I run First Impressions (firstimpressions.quest), affordable playtests for indie games: a player I've met plays a game cold, records the whole session talking out loud, and answers the developer's questions. I review every recording before it reaches the dev.

Love the idea, every Wikipedia article as a card. You asked about the first two minutes and the first packs: the most honest answer is a recording of someone who has never seen it.
