Super cool entry, great job! Played it from start to finish and was really digging the storyline. Could be expanded as a complete game with more interactions, content and visuals!

Great game!!!
I really like the beginning where all the settings and choices are implemented in the same way as MS-DOS

Incroyable, j'ai ADORE l'experience ! Pourtant je suis pas très fan des trucs dans l'espace, mais :
- les musiques et effets sonores sont très immersifs et parfaitement adaptés
- le gameplay / la UI sont originaux et très clairs. J'ai apprécié le changement de couleur à chaque constellation
- l'histoire est intriguante et donne envie d'aller plus loin à chaque fois
J'avoue que je suis pas certain d'avoir compris la fin (SPOILER) c'est resté bloqué sur "out there etc", j'ai l'impression que j'ai ramené un monstre géant bouffeur de vie sur Terre haha

En tout cas franchement chapeau :D

Wow, this is an incredibly well made project!

The interface art style really pulls you into the world. I was genuinely impressed during the first trip to Andromeda by the cool “lightspeed” effect and the way the UI colors changed to match the system. Please keep working on this!

P.S. Just as feedback: for me, it unfortunately didnt open in the web player on Chrome after the loading bar had fully finished.

@anszwa did it not open at all ? there's a 5 seconds black screen at the start for "immersion" but obviously it can also be taken as the game not loading (yeah it wasn't a great idea)

@herryfabien there should've been something happening after a little bit of time, unless it glitched out for you?

thanks for playing

This game is very well made. I love how the terminal feels like a real terminal. This is my favorite game so far.
