This story makes no sense and it is no game. It's not a mix of a game and a movie as a game, it's just a movie styled as an art game.

DON'T READ THE 3RD ACHIEVEMENT IT'S A SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see where you were going with this, but it's really not much of a game. It's more a visual novel. But even on that merit - well, the story feels incomplete. I don't mean there needs to be a resolution - I mean that the story never builds to anything. John is on the moon and sees demonic visions - and that never changes. It doesn't go anywhere, just circles around that central idea.

I'm not looking for closure - I'm a big believer in the idea that horror loses its impact once you explain or reveal it. I can accept that I'll never get an explanation for what happens to John. But what happens on Day 1 is thematically the same as Day 3 - he just sees weird stuff. A story needs dynamism - this feels like a holding pattern.

Nice music and a very intriguing story. The art is really good and I love the 'noise' effect you put in the sky and other areas to give it a creepy feel.

I do have a few suggestions though
- An actual title screen that allows you to 'jump' to days if you have to restart for some reason or are looking for clues. For example, you complete Day 1, you unlock the option to begin at the end of Day 1 - etc etc.
- A warning on the code screen to NOT press E.
- A way to exit the code screen and look at the lamps again. I was able to find about 5 numbers, but I have a feeling there are more available to be found.
- Actual interaction with other elements. The game is very slow. You either move left, or right, click, or hit space bar. Let us explore the Infirmary and other areas. Let us learn more about the company in the main story line. WHY is John alone on the moon? WHY does he have to wear his space suit all the time? This is more an interactive novel than a flash game. Maybe deepen the story a bit? Add more elements to it? A twist that John's wife hasn't been alive for years or something? Maybe this IS all in his mind? (I'm sure getting the MOON ending explains what is going on, but that falls back on getting the lamp numbers..)
- I've seen other story-games work well, but the catch with them was options. You had other options to make things happen. If you went Left, then right might not happen later. Different endings, branches, and a deeper exploration of the story/setting can really make a game that lacks the typical 'game qualities' a gem.

Over all it's a pretty good game! Look forward to seeing your next submission.

it kinda sucked first of all it took 5minites to get of the space ship thing and i didnt really understand the ending
