Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
the game is...interesting, when i read the description, i imagined something a bit like one of the phases from spore, playing as animals, maybe custom, maybe pre-made, and just living life like an animal and trying to ensure the success of your species. that is...not really what i found, at least so far, the game is a bit, for lack of better terms, "sillier" in it's design, i mean, right from the get-go, you load into the game and the first thing you see is a dancing alien offering tutorials (which i did find to be VERY basic unfortunately, explained little and more or less just told me where to find the first quest-giver, which is forgivable considering the scope of what the dev (who i hope sees this ^^) is trying to achieve, also, there's a water centipede in the doorway near the alien area?
