very cool & restrained atmospheric horror, I felt like I was inserted straight into the cold open of a 1980's sci-fi, and I definitely wasn't the protagonist. if a game can make me say "ALL OF THEM???" to five red phonetic alphabet words on a black screen it's a good game
my only bit of feedback? ironically the setting was so atmospheric that I felt like I was 'breaking character' by firing on the first red asteroid, despite it being pretty clear that was how I progressed the story. why would I? it's not firing on me, it's just hanging around. if I was sent out here under false pretenses, and ATHENA can tell the difference between the alien craft and an asteroid, would it not make sense for ATHENA to lie and say the red asteroid had a valuable resource upon being scanned?
