Future Fragments is a metroidvania-type adult game, its game aspect being in the highlight - it has a immersive lore and multiple detailed plotlines, a plausibly absurd universe and enough seriousness to make the triple-X action more of a main aspect rather than the purpose of the game. This game is definitely more than fapping supplement, but serves as such just as well.

Based on this demo, a lot of effort has already gone into the realm, the story, the visuals, the voiceovers and the cutscenes as well - including post-mortem animations before entering the game over screens.

However, the controls feel a bit "sticky" or "heavy" at times, especially without the overused doublejump most players such as myself have become all too reliant on. If there's anything I miss, it's some more variety in enemies, or at least their skills or animations. I know there will be many more environments to explore, but the whole gameplay became pretty monotonous with only six ways to "die" on the map and few other secrets to discover. Maybe adding death animations/cutscenes for a few existing enemies could be an optimal remedy.

All in all, if anyone knows e. g. Ghost 1.0, then Future Fragments is a pretty similar experience and I can whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who wants a fair challenge with some very generous compensation for their slip-ups. ;)

The drums feel a bit too fuzzy at the beginning and with the filtered synths they're making the first half kind of dampened or "muddy". Maybe spicing up the buildup with a solo could help.

Yuki Kajiura's "Mezame" comes to mind for example, where the upbeat theme boots off after a flamenco-style lead in the intro.

Great job nevertheless! Kudos!

I like the progression and the low-bit instrumentation. It could be spiced up a bit with some rhythm breaks or fills that add some "funk", especially toward the end. Maybe the second half could introduce an additional layer of a harsher brass or string synth to make it feel more energetic. I'd also blend that last FX swell with the end a bit, just enough to prevent it from feeling completely disconnected from the finish.
