The story starts weird with Agatha and her crew getting a briefing and a character called Killswitch (cool name though) talking to us while not being present. She is still a part of the team but only appears via radio, but yeah, that had me confused there. The rest of characters are cool and interesting to talk to and work with in the story. We infiltrate another planet and steal their vessel while doing all kind of scifi nerdy stuff with data and computers like rerouting connections. There is even a small tower defense game coded in and disguised as a hacking/firewall game, that is actually fun. And some not really hard interaction puzzles that are no showstoppers like building a screwdriver from one of the two only items around... but what I absolutely don't like it that it is impossible to skip dialog while there is not even voice acting, so get ready for a lot of long reading, i cannot speed this up for the longplay (but also hope the even longer briefing pages show long enough for you)...
When there is music, the music is synthy and fitting for the scifi and spaceship setting. The sound effects are interesting and sometimes weird...
The graphics are really nice designed, the characters are very distinct and different (but have very small feet). It looks like vector graphics, so I used that in the video description, could also be an aesthetic choice and actually those are bitmaps, but either way it looks very good and is very consistent throughout the game, really well done!
Sadly just when it gets really tense and action is about to happen the demo ends, how mean is that?! :)
