I liked the overall idea but felt I needed a few more narrative choices, i would of preferred actually being randomly assigned species and not knowing my choice

It was nice. But seemed more like an interactive story than a game.

Really cool. I liked how the choice at the beginning affected the final outcome. Game looks very nice as well. It was a bit boring to replay the game after the first playthrough, since most of the dialogue was the same. Overall the game was enjoyable though

Nice story-driven game! I like your art style :) Going to replay this a few times.

This is one of the rare cases where I don't abandon a literary game after the first paragraph, and your writing pulled me through to the end of a couple arcs. Minor complaint is that the shapeshifters almost could've been replaced with any other monster/alien/android with a skinsuit. I feel like there's more potential in the theme. Good job, though.

A Storytell why not. Nice Story and Artwork.

Pretty good story, and the artwork was very well done! It would be cool if the choices had more impact, but still, good game.

I liked the story. For fully imersion the player's home/appartament scene would be totaly great addition.
Exit dialog text was damaged and did not fit buttons
//I remembered that still not finished "Shifters" on PS2 <_<

Interesting story, and nice use of branching choices for storytelling (I really like the first choice). The art style is great as well.

This reminded me of old Amiga games and the like. I actually quite enjoyed the story (I did one playthrough) and didnt know what to expect. Very good!

Cool story game with a surprising amount of variations. It was a bit anticlimactic in some of the endings but oh well. Otherwise solid.





Dialogs were between clever, funny and weird at times but other than that, I'm saving this one to try out more options later, which I guess is a good thing :)
Nice one.
