Hi Neok :D
I really loved your Alter AILA games, even AAV demo in AAG and i was really sad that you cancelled AAV, and this game is really awesome! :D
Spent two hours, found all 3 endings, just logged in to say thank you :D
(btw, any chance you will tell me what you've planned for AAV ending please? ;-;)

Hey, thanks man! I don't know if I've said this somewhere, but I am slowly putting together another game using these systems, that'll be longer and more indepth. I haven't thought about the story in a pretty long time, so can't say where I was going with it anymore. On the mist question, just rooms visited. Falling in battle indirectly penalizes you that way, since you start back at the central terminal again. Mostly though, these days I'm trying not to "punish" the player for losing (like game over, reload save file, that sort of thing)

Finally got around to this! It was really good. The gameplay was really fun and engaging; I love open-ended RPGs. The running around to fight different bosses and get skills reminded me a bit of Wine & Roses. The battle system was really neat, too -- I normally don't like cooldown-based systems that much, but combined with enemies having cooldowns too, I think it worked well. It's an especially good way for a single-character RPG to still feel engaging.
I thought the difficulty curve was a little funky though -- I got absolutely wrecked by most encounters in the early game (the Child enemies were particularly nasty), but after a certain point -- level 6 or so, I think -- I was able to steamroll everything pretty effortlessly.
I'm surprised you're so disparaging of the story, though. It was short and simple, but so was the game itself; I think it did what it needed to do. The ending twist confused me a bit, though.
If Blue is of the same species as the invading aliens, why does it want to stop them? What caused it to break away from the rest, what is it getting out of this, where will it go from here? It feels kind of like a setup for a sequel with a more involved setting.
I was also surprised by how easily things were resolved in the ending. I expected Natalie to die after the battle. I wonder, does something special happen if you defeat all the eyes before Natalie? Is that the route to ending 2?
Now I just have to find ending 2. My best guess is that it's the bad end for if the mist reaches the terminal. What influences that, by the way? Just the number of rooms you've visited? Or does falling in battle influence it? I did find it odd how there seemed to be no consequences to losing...

Oh man, I absolutely love Ally as a character. She has enough potential for character growth to last a full-length game. You should definitely consider having a similar character in a later project.
