Great small game for Ectocomp about brain-changing parasites, September 15, 2017
by MathBrush
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This game has a great plot for a 3-hour ectocomp game.

You are one of the few remaining members of society after parasites from space have attacked everyone. At a SETI outpost, you try to survive with a friend.

The implementation was buggy, as could be expected from a Speed-IF game, but the writing and story were excellent; would make a good TV episode.

Good game, just some suggestions , March 6, 2013
by Cder

It's a really good game, it's a great game to play in your free time, I just don't understand the relevance to (Spoiler - click to show) when you go into the helipad, and you try to shoot the blip, Verdade shoots you, but what I don't understand is, why don't you die or the game ends, you can just keep going back and getting shot, but nothing happens except the text that appears All in all, the game was pretty good, there were some plot holes here and there (Spoiler - click to show) maybe an explanation is needed when you get killed for trying to examine the soldier who was in the military boat Sometimes, the commands were kinda weird, (Spoiler - click to show) when you're suppose to swim out to the boat, nothing indicates that you can swim out to the boat That's all from me though, thanks for the opportunity to play this great game of yours!
