Crustacean Station!

I'd definitely say this is more of a neutral review, but putting as positive as I can see potential. The idea of a Papers Please style game with a more chill vibe is a really fun one, and the art is very cute, the gameplay just leaves quite a bit to be desired. After over a week in game there has been no advancement on the game's mechanics. Still just a simple check if the name and picture match and that's about it, and from what I can tell there isn't much incentive to work quickly, which feels odd. After the first week the player is hit with a medical bill, which would have made a really good "goal" if you were paid per passenger processed. Might be similar to Papers but as far as I can tell it doesn't really matter how quickly you process the passengers, so having a system in place to reward you for how efficiently you get through them would be welcome. Even if it was more of an upgrade system to work towards rather than a bills system like Papers so to retain the more chill, positive feel of the game. I would also say the dialogue gets stale quickly. I had repeats of passenger comments within the same workday, as well as repeats of the pink notes given within the same week. I would suggest to just have the "important" characters speak to try to avoid this, as it does take you out of it to see the same comment about the lab being suspicious from three different characters in the same day. Overall it's a fun idea, and I can absolutely see the potential in the project, but as is it really did not hold my attention for more than about 15 minutes.
