Sights & Sounds
- The game looks great. I'm a fan of the unique character designs
- Not much else to look at besides the characters
- The music is serviceable, but the voice acting is a little strange

Story & Vibes
- I won't spoil anything about the story. It's really good and worth experiencing without any foreknowledge
- The game is pretty grim, but there's a few nuggets of humor
- I'm not sure if I got the "best" ending, but I got a pretty hopeful one

Playability & Replayability
- There's not much in the way of gameplay. You walk around a cave, talk to people, give them star signs, and occasionally replenish your stars
- If you're playing it, you're doing it for the story anyway
- You're mostly playing a decision-making simulator where you're working with incomplete information and hoping for a desirable result. Don't sweat mistakes too badly

Overall Impressions & Performance
- The game ran well and was totally bug free, but there were a couple of typos that took me out of the experience

Final Verdict
- 7/10. It's a pretty good story in a 3-5 hour (depending on how much agonizing/repeating you do) game that looks cool, if a little weird. Would have appreciated some more branching paths, but it's still solid
