I greatly enjoyed this little journey from beginning to end, from the pleasing pixel art, to the wonderful writing that's able to seamlessly transition to light and quirky, to somber and existential believably. And some solid replay-ability to boot! I've had a blast playing and I recommend it highly.

An honestly enjoyable experience for what this small game has to offer. I really dig the setting of space and the very liminal nature of the environment. The music is also quite charming and really sets the mood for every moment in the game. A really really good first attempt at a game. I genuinely hope this Creator goes on to make more things in the future. Keep it up Kylebricks!

It's 2023 and yet this game still doesn't have WSAD movement. The controls aren't rebindable. If I had known that in advance I probably wouldn't have bothered playing this game, both in retrospect and in general. The story is good but lacked punch because the music wasn't god-tier (AKA Undertale-tier). The character didn't feel great to control, but not on the level where it's rise to a criticism.
