Mixed feelings about this one. It was very well produced and the acting was almost flawless. The concept was fresh and we soon got into the swing of pinning the story threads together. However, the game never really indicated what we were meant to be doing (we went into the game blind). And then the game just ended. I understand it's difficult to finalise the game without breaking the immersion, but it got to 5AM and we uploaded the videos and then got an ending - I wasn't even aware it was an ending, in fact, I thought we'd failed. I'm not sure exactly where the game was or what agency we had as players.
For my two cents, it would've been nice to have had perhaps some emails within the game world with a little bit of direction and to show progress - or how close we were to the deadline. Maybe just directing us as to what we were looking for. It was just a bit muddled, but I applaud the team for the fresh thinking and the progress - I think the next iteration will hit it.
