I like the story. However, I have a few suggestions about its design as a game. A "restar" button would be a good implemention, as well as save points. Maybe some dice rolls or stats (but some players don't like to rely on luck). As to the plot - maybe some deeper interpersonal relations described would have added something to the story.

I am glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback!
When I was just getting started on this game, I made a few bad design decisions that later came back to haunt me, preventing me from implementing restarts or saves. That was really stupid, and I will definitely not make this mistake again, so all my future games will have saves and restarts in them.
The game has a lot of dice rolls! They are just all happening under the hood. For example, if you choose to fight at the beginning, there is a 10% chance to win and 90% chance to lose. The final outcome doesn't depend on luck all that much, though: if you play perfectly, you will win the game no matter what, and if you make several wrong choices, the dice probably won't save you.
Interpersonal relationships - yep, that's the hardest thing for me. But I will try my best to write them better in the next chapter!
I really liked it. Where in the timeline compared to the announced chapters is this?
AlexeyNigin responds:
I am glad you enjoyed it! Here is the entire timeline:
21st century: Kina ship crash lands on Earth
23rd century: Rebels try to defeat four megacorporations
25th century: Humanity makes first contact with Tpiru (next game to be released)
27th century: O attack the Human Empire (yep, this is the game you just played)
29th century: Mysterious threat appears in the Milky Way (it was the original game that started the saga; I think it's pretty stupid, so I don't talk about it much)
31st century: IMF Starship Supreme is put into service
Love the story bro, I think it is much better if you could put animation like in visual novels... that's all keep up the good work bro!
AlexeyNigin responds:
Thanks! Unfortunately, my drawing/animation skills are similar to those of a typical 5-year-old, so my attempts to add animation to this game would probably just make everyone cringe.
Great story! I'll be waiting for the next chapters. Keep up the good work!
AlexeyNigin responds:
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it! I already started working on the Tpiru chapter, should release it in a few months.
