Knowing this was a Bluebeard Jam entry, I saw the twist coming the moment he mentioned the door haha, but the reveal was still creepy in the best of ways. There are some cool text effects here and I really like the look of the game overall. The interaction style where words/phrases appear one at a time is novel, a bit tedious, but it fits the idea of being a robot that can only scan a few things at a time. As if your internal cameras or sensors are limited...
[Spoilers]
I picked the stab ending, because obviously, but I do wonder what happens to the protagonist after this. Will she be able to eke it out in the lab on her own? Will she be able to pass as human? I imagine at least some of the knowledge about designing and maintaining her body died with the guy, so that might be an issue. But if she's smart, she can probably figure it out. Maybe?
This was so cool! It makes me wish that this were a movie. I could just picture how everything would play out. I loved the descriptions and choice of words for everything! The environment feels too real. Excellent job!
This was so damn cool!! I loved the atmosphere of the entire piece — so cold, so clinical, practically bursting with icy shadows that lurked underneath. We all knew something was coming, but when we reached that room, wow. The descriptions!! They were incredible! I got chills. Thank you for making this game!!!
The way this is so damn good! I was so fascinated by the use of Sumerian (I adore Near Eastern history) that I looked up 𒍨, and it can also mean lower body/abdomen... another amazing layer of depth. I loved how jerky and disorienting the narration felt. The way she was looking at the world as items divorced of context and things that catch her eye rather than a scene really added to the cold atmosphere of the whole game, made even more chilling by the description of that room and the sombre ending~
