Imago Season

It's quite good! I appreciated the addition of a little pop-up telling you how you unlocked a particular dialogue option - it feels like a genuine innovation for the genre.

A polished walk & talk. Successfully does what it sets out to do. Slightly grandiose lore (typical for a debut) vs. an almost intimate play area. The big plot sometimes overshadows what should have been a few more smaller moments. I liked that I could weasel my way in, out and around the main factions, fully supported by a robust role-playing choice system. Unique music for every area. Splendid cover art. It IS somewhat on the still and dry side, so don't expect a massive epic with hundreds of characters bustling around. I adored Sandra. It was fun being a constant disappointment to her.

I do wish it was longer, I got a single ending in about an hour and a half, but I appreciate the work and the creativity that went into this game. Pick it up if you want a concise and interesting story

An excellent bite-sized Disco-like. Great writing, great worldbuilding, great bug people!

Although this is their first game, I'm very impressed how Lunar Finch made this game with such great replyability. I'm really hoping for more improvements in the future as I see much potential for this game :)

It's not necessarily bad, but after about 30 minutes I no longer felt that continuing to play would be a valuable use of my time. I think for a first release from a studio that was very clearly limited on the scope of the game they could afford to produce it's alright, and there are definitely worse indies to play, but I was not really compelled to finish the game. I'll be comparing the game to Disco Elysium a lot, which is not really a fair comparison since that game had a much larger budget and studio behind it, but if you play the game for around 30 seconds you can see it's sort of inevitable. I'll start with the gameplay, I like the idea conceptually of placing a discolike in first person, but the scope limitations of this game really show here. The overall play area is extremely small, and your movement is very frequently blocked off by invisible walls to the extent where it does not feel like there is really any reward for exploration. There are some random pickups with resources here and there but from what I saw they are all just placed in plain sight. This leads to walking around the environment feeling pointless, the game seems to recognize this as well as there is a dia…
