The prologue is a bit slow to get into the game.
However after going through that, and probably at Part 2, is when the game gets fun and interesting

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll definitely see if I can make the Prologue more exciting.
Although Part 1 is there to introduce the characters, setting and main initial plot, so it kinda drags on.

It's a good game. Mostly interested in the story and game mechanics aspect though. Graphics and music can be better polished.

Thank you for the review!
I'll get to work on renewing the maps and see what I can do with the audio. 
Thanks for playing.

It's an interesting game. I look forwards to the sequel.

Thanks for playing the game!
And yeah, there's way more to cover with this mystery.

just made this account to tell you the game is good
you need to finish it!

Thank you for the comment and the review!
I'll look into improving the music :)
