Some small grammatical and spelling mistakes.

Overall a fun game, the tooltips were good at leading me in the right direction, I would have felt a little lost without them. Sound effects were subtle and didn't get annoying, music was decent and the models gave a cool retro vibe.

7/10
Pretty solid game prototype, game experience was smooth up until the crafting table which originally didn't work at all until a restart (inventory wouldn't open), and then when it did work the hitbox for dragging the items onto the table seemed extremely small and was difficult to place. There were also some typos in the dialogue. The dithering and color posterization style was definitely interesting choice, and made me think this game was more of a survival horror and I was sort expecting a zombie or creature of the likes to appear.

But that's just about all the criticism I have to say, gameplay is clean and smooth otherwise, the concept is definitely a good foundation and the writing is pretty strong despite being short.

Good work :)
