Being attacked by hundreds of grunts, I have to admit that was quite a twist

First off please don't take this as being mean, I'm just giving my honest criticism.

I must say I'm rather disappointed, you gave this so much hype, but put out a 30 minute game. It was very beautiful, the music was great, and the "otherworldlyness" was definitely prominent but... there was just so much more you could do with everything. What of Alexander and Justine? There was no story there or any hint of why they were together other than her picture hung around the areas and some obsessive text/notes from Alexander. It was a great idea and creative, but it just didn't work out and it seems you just wanted to link the original storyline and the Justine expansion for no other reason than for it to be a point of interest.

The notes were interesting but served little to no purpose in my opinion other than giving very basic info about the Gatherers, Kaernk, and Weyer and all in all it seems as though they were strewn about to give some hint of a story...

What was with the red fog that rushed at you, demanding you put the orb back? Everything after the Master Chamber in the Spire of Lights felt rushed, as if you just wanted to stuff a few chase scenes and scares, and then slap on an ending with a twist and blame it on not being related to the actual game.

I understand you couldn't get any modelers for free, but it wouldn't have been too "bad" to have our good old pals Grunt, Brute, and the Suitors (would have made a lot of sense because of the whole Justine thing) make an appearance, after all if this was Alexander's world, he was bound to keep a few around. But at the same time I understand your not wanting to reuse old and known monsters.

Your other story Insomnia was really well done and creative, and Wake was looking promising, but I don't know why you scrapped it for this...
