A really neat but short experience in which you are thrown into a world far beyond your understanding, but that is okay. The narrative in this game packs a tight punch about accepting things as alien as they are, and keeps its main focus centered on the story until the very end. The visuals are awesome, and the writing style equally fantastic. Great work for what I believe to be the team's first project aside from some bugs, y'all did great! :)
