Daaamn
You love those sick plot twists that the end XD Yes again so do I.
Loved the first one but this was far better though somehow I expected it to be longer. At the beginning of the game there seemed like so much to be done and I felt for sure there would be a new home type of location to go to after the ranch, seemed to zip by real fast after the ranch ending lol.
Wonderful animated backgrounds which was actually an improvement I thought of as I played the first game, voices which was also an improvement from the last game, timed sequences too where you had to think fast before the Exmortis came...overall a fantastic amount of improvement from your last game and I'm very much looking forward to your third!
Very few things I can advise to improve your work that I'mn sure you havent already thought of, just one thing about the Sudoku puzzle. I didnt want to cheat and use the walkthrough simply to find the numbers I wanted to solve it myself but I had to google Sudoku rules. How about including the rules of the game within your own somewhere? Just a little help button for people who dont know how to play.
