I liked how the choice at the beginning affected the final outcome. Game looks very nice as well. It was a bit boring to replay the game after the first playthrough, since most of the dialogue was the same. Overall the game was enjoyable though"},{"author_name":"HoldMeImScared","author_uid":"92332","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 8:21am","epoch":1460967360,"text":"Nice story-driven game!

Minor complaint is that the shapeshifters almost could've been replaced with any other monster\/alien\/android with a skinsuit. I feel like there's more potential in the theme. Good job, though."},{"author_name":"Berserker_Chris","author_uid":"52858","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 9:01am","epoch":1460969760,"text":"A Storytell why not.
