I kind of thought that once I actually made it onto the Demeter that things would pick up in pace, but it's just as slow. There's far too much waffling about and the characters will find just about any reason to stop for a drawn out conversation. The attempts at banter and innuendo only serve to slow things down even further and pretty much kill any kind of tension and urgency that should be there.
Fucking Jane deserved to die. She was told on two different occasions to get out and go, yet every time you turn around there she is. Then she has great big whinge (that I aggressively button mashed my way through) before deciding to get herself killed. At that point the MC should have just shrugged his shoulders and been like "Eh, there's just no helping some people."
Also things that bothered me on a continuity level: How did that first creature manage to get the drop on the MC and Bobby when Kess was meant to be scouting ahead? Why is the MC relying on a side arm when he was made aware that small arms fire does nothing and Bobby supposedly has a gun collection? These things probably wouldn't bother me so much but you've made a point to info dump these facts on us.
Overall I think you've got a game with some excellent potential, but as it stands, I have found it to be a little frustrating to play.
