The character design is charming and amazing as all of the characters have their own unique looks, styles, traits and voices that set each character apart from each other, while Shay and Vella are two excellent lead characters with a host of supporting characters which no matter how short their appearance may be in some cases all characters have their moment of humorous dialogue. There are two stories which both consist of two acts with both stories having a separate lead character, therefore Shay Volta’s and Vella Tartine’s adventures can be started and progressed upon in any given order by utilising the bottom right side of the inventory menu or alternatively visiting new game menu and saving to a different save slot which is an excellent design choice as it allows the freedom for the player to experience the game in anyway the player wants to do so with exceptional accessibility. The story unfolds in separate phases as the player can switch between both characters as Shay is living a life of solitary on board a spaceship under the watchful eye of a computer who acts as a caring mother, but all he wants to do is break routine and explore space looking for adventure and excitement, while Vella has been chosen as a sacrifice by her village to have the so-called honour of being fed to a beastly monster, the inference being that both Shay and Vella have the urge to escape from their pre-determined fates. The story revolves around two teenagers called Shay Volta and Vella Tartine who find themselves in similar scenarios in their lives despite not knowing each other and being located quite some distance apart.
