Shows Promise

This game follows Selim, who has just become a new engineer on the spacestation, The Vestel. It isn't a very long demo, but what is there has me excited.

Gameplay

I suppose you could call it a puzzle game, or maybe it will end up being a survival horror, or perhaps a mystery? The truth is we don't get far enough into it to really know. Basically, you just waltz around the ship and introduce yourself to everyone (in addition to a few other interesting moments). I would've liked to see a bit more, but I suppose I will just have to wait.

Graphics

One word: fantastic. The lighting is amazing and each room feels unique, making it a joy just simply wandering around the ship. The style is consistent and each character is different in his own way.

Music

Also, excellent. The music fits the mood great and I actually got goosebumps when the main ship theme started (when he looks in the mirror). I would've liked to have heard more music, but that kind of goes hand-in-hand with seeing a longer demo.

Dialogue/Spelling

For the most part, pretty good. The dialogue is natural and spelling was fine (minus one part where he wrote "migh" instead of "might"). For what was there, it kept me interested.

Overall

This game shows promise. Really, my only critique is that there wasn't a whole lot of content. I look forward to seeing more of this game in the future.
