I like the core gameplay loop but it feels like there needs to be something added to it. Graphics are nice and mabye adding wasd controls to the camera would be nice.

the music sounds nice, gives me mass effect vibes, unfortunately i was not really able to do anything in either the downloaded game or browser game. I tried with KB/M and with an xbox controller but I could not seem to interact with anything. the pictures look good and would love to give it another try if some inputs are detailed in the listing.

I liked the chill exploration approach of the game, but it definitely needs some instructions. It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do. Also, the spawn animation is unnecessarily slow, given that there is nothing you can do but wait for the beacons to spawn in order to continue along your path. Adding a few things scattered around the map to discover while looking for the destination could also help with motivation.
