I wasn't too keen on having to distinguish who was most likely lying, which pod was the nice choice etc. I think this was most likely due to an information overload of sorts. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>All of the information given to me as I played felt somewhat generic such as &quot;Red Terminal B&quot; tells me &quot;John Malkovich is most likely a liar&quot;. I mean, after receiving 5 or so bits of this kind of information I was kind of like &quot;I don't give a damn&quot; and I randomly selected an escape pod.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe it was because I didn't have the patience to play the game at the moment, or because the game didn't give me very much incentive to care all that much. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Oddly though, my 3 or 4th random choice actually landed me on the pod that wasn't a deathtrap and I was totally happy... until I realized that it really didn't change anything for me. All the outcomes felt the same."},{"author_name":"somepx","author_uid":"29702","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 12:36pm","epoch":1387456260,"text":"Some excellent pixel art here! Game is very well made: 72h?

I love that its different each time! The controls were a little wonky, and there were some collision detection issues (walking over walls) but those are minor considering the type of game it is.

And the sound is a perfect match for the pixel art. I love the subtle breathing in the background!! Although I am sure there are ways you can use the music to add a sense of urgency an claustrofobia, like the first Descent game. It's a bit more up tempo and has a nice beat to keap you sharp. Although, for a logic game... perhaps ambient is not such a bad choice after all :) And, yeh look at who's talking, I did the music for a game where the house is on fire, probably the most laid back track POSSIBLE :D"},{"author_name":"ViliX","author_uid":"29167","time":"Dec 22, 2013 @ 7:18pm","epoch":1387739580,"text":"Tricky idea :) 5\/5 for mood and innovation"},{"author_name":"rnlf","author_uid":"30930","time":"Dec 23, 2013 @ 12:41am","epoch":1387758960,"text":"It looks so excellent!
