THAT ENDING THOUGH
Avoiding spoilers in case of a compulsive click, because the game's so recently released, but DAMN I was not expecting that at the end!

(If there are ANY replies to this post, there are probably spoilers ahead, consider yourself warned.)

I'm afraid I saw it a mile away :-/

Although, unless I'm mistaken, when you find the spacesuits of the crew and they get marked off your checklist, they seem to be alien spacesuits, not ours. (if you played the game, you know what I mean)

What? I just finished the game and i didnt quite get whats it all about. I think i may have an idea but not entirely sure .... maybe i missed something in the game?

could see it a mile away and that ending and the planet that pc leaves it looks like a certain planet that we are living on right now

Basically test,

We aren't humans observing a different species, let's say x, who are in civl war. We are x observing the humans. The planet we see out of the windows is Earth.

So can someone just clarify, Mila dies in the final seconds, opening her escape pod. So she was alive for the whole time we were on board. Why didn't she try make contact and escape with u on your ship? Did she assume it was the humans?

Also, if the humans boarded the first time and killed the other two guys, Silas and Adrian, how did they miss Mila and why did they leave, and then return when the Player came back?Did they see his ship docking?

And lastly, when you are in the lounge and you turn off the power and the, presumably human in the white astronaut suit walks over the ledge in Viewing Room, where does he disappear to? I know its a bit ship but surely you'd run back into him.

Honestly, I like the game, the atmosphere...but playing around with appearing/dissappearing astronauts and using the human astronaut suit instead of the alien astronaut suit for the crew you found was a bit of a cheaty way of keeping us guessing and it made the plot twist less "OMG" and more "but...hang on, that does not make sense..."

Still, I enjoyed the game, was certain for a while that 'I' was the alien/human and everyone else was human/alien.

Ending seemed a bit predictable. When the human suits weren't moving to me it became a bit too obvious thats where the story was headed. Still an alright game but the plot twist could have been handled better.

yep pretty obvious that we are the aliens observing planet earth and the humans and the astronauts that we were seeing was the humans not the crew.

Shoot at the very end Mila she says that they are not combatible to earth and the humans

I didn't see it a mile away and really enjoyed the twist.

I saw it a mile away but it was confirmed for me when i saw the information about the retinas of the aliens in the science lab.

I think the reason I didn't realize it sooner is all the politics and backstabbing in the story made me 100% identify the crewmembers as humans until the game rather forcefully said "nope they're not the humans". The senators and the corporate undercuts that left the station half-supplied and the one with the sick kid, I identified _with_ them too much to think of them as aliens...

I knew it from the start. But the alien symbols on the books was even more of an initial giveaway.

then there is that one part that you find out that the stealth system on the station among others was disabled.

To me that just says someone intentionally dropped the stealth on the station - course I could be wrong

Spectre.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Aiden did that.
We learn that his daughter is very sick and treatment is expensive, we also know that he was refused a loan and that he and his ex-wife are trying to find a way to provide for his daughter.

In his locker is a job offer stating that if the Station had a major problem, I think it says that the stock of the rival company would make a fortune and that Aiden would recieve 80 million for his work.

Therefore it seems likely that with his need for money he may have sabotaged the stealth system, causing the shields to go down.

I say us humans need to conquer this species for their insolence.

Right, i did suspect this to be the case. My first clue was the weird symbols you find around the ship instead of letters and such.

I guess this makes sense but at teh same time doesnt? lol

Im still a bit fuzzy about some of the details but whatever, get the gist of it :)

Anyway, was a good short game, enjoyed it :)
