Congratulations on an excellent game. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the dialogue and the pacing. It was surprising how well you managed to make the player relate to, empathise with and generally care about the characters. It might sound extreme, but I haven't felt so interested in character progression since Mass Effect.
The side-scrolling shooting element remained fun due to the large array of weapons, and the upgrade system was clear, easy and fun to use.
I would love to see a sequel, with possible dialogue choices to further the narrative of the game. However I understand that would add exponentially to an already vast amount of text.
Thank you for a well-written and carefully designed game. It was a pleasure to play.
