✦ AI summary

A Sun Of Salt is a short visual novel about four crew members on a space journey that impresses players with its well-developed characters, thoughtful writing, and unique mechanic for exploring crew members' personalities and pasts, though opinions vary on whether it delivers a satisfying overall experience. While most appreciate the character interactions, engaging art, and the way the game subverts expectations about who the characters are, several players note the story feels incomplete with unresolved questions and an anticlimactic ending that hints at a potential sequel.

A very short game, completed in about 1.5 hours. the game started out very well made, with only 1 typo i managed to find. The characters develop quite a bit over the time you spend with them. The creator obviously put a lot of research into everything mentioned and i found myself looking up some of the stuff mentioned to find that its mostly correct, of course, allowing for science fiction as well as the game is obviously based in the future. The game has a very unique game system where you can explore the minds of the non playable characters, but i feel the game is half baked and incomplete. there are many questions i still have that have gone unsolved and i would like to get answers. maybe this is forshadowing a part 2 but i mostly doubt it. the game ends very anticlimactically and i was hoping to know more. apart from that. a good game. i backed this game on kickstarter back in september of 2016 and have been highly anticipating this games release. but i think i got too hyped and the game turned out to be under my expectations.

Pleasantly surprised but at the same time glad i backed this game some time ago. To be perfectly honest I actually forgot about this game until last month when the developer mentioned that it was on it's last stretch before release. It's kind of time consuming to keep up with so many games development, but I'm glad I played this one as early as I did. This game is low budget now doubt, though besides the pretty character designs the strongest point in this game is the character interactions. As soon as I felt like I understood a character the game takes a change and I have to re-evaluate who they are. A couple moments gave me goosebumps, but overall it was well worth the initial playthrough. I hope I can find the time to do a second run to get a different ending, as the first one left me deep in thought. I'll leave it at that.

I was one of the backers for this game, let me tell you I was super hyped for it. I love the interactions of the characters and how it plays with expectations when you think you got a grasp on a character, all the people in the ship are pretty charismatic and the designs are nice and colorful. I think I got all 4 or 5 ending? I honestly do not know if there are more I think i explore all i could of the story, a couple of things remain a mystery to me, but I hope there might be a second part to explore more of this game and story. I recommend that you give it a read if only one playthrough is pretty entertaining and engaging.

SoS was a pleasant surprise. A visual novel game, it distinguishes itself with a unique concept in which 4 characters are sent on a life-long journey into the depths of space with new tech to explore what lays beyond. The game revolves around managing the relationships between, and exploring each character's past and personality. Without giving away spoilers, there is an interesting "mechanic" involved in which you learn more about each individual as the days pass. Refreshingly, every crew member is well fleshed out- they aren't nearly as one dimensional as you are led to believe early on- and one in particular really evolved throughout my playthrough. The art and animations are well done too. Definitely a fun game to try, and worth the money.

It was alright the first time. A lot of typos though. The one thing that really was really annoying though is that your answers don't even change the dialog 99% of the time. I get the same result and the 4th night repeats itself. The game couldve been so much more but it really falls short. For the money, it was ok. I would not say it was worth it though.
