Incredible experience exploring these planets and a very cool story too. Dev is also super responsive when I've encountered bugs or when I was completely lost.

I give it a thumbs up. I went in with some different expectations than what I got and the game feels like it falls a little short of being really great, but it was decent. Main issues I had is each planet felt much like a re-skin of the same elements over and over, with the occasional new element thrown in as the story progressed. the second issue I had is that it did a lot of telling rather than showing with the story elements, during one of my recording sessions for my Youtube Channel an episode basically got turned into a ton of text reading as the game decided to just lore dump on me. For anyone interested here is the channel: youtube.com/channel/UCL8modss0rKR4Ql_C7zSMjQ/featured As for what I liked about the game, well it was interesting, I liked some of the less story centric elements I stumbled across, and I feel like I likely missed some optional elements to the game that might have changed how some of it felt.

Short procgen walkabout. Maybe too short, but that also makes it less frustrating than a procgen game could be.

Very good and deep story. I'd say it's a hidden gem on Steam.

Overall impression: C -. There are some great ideas here. The game is rough in ways, but it functions. There are some bugs, but they are minor. The game is really story centered, so I will not say too much about the core themes. You are on a exploration mission that takes you to several planets. You gather materials as you explore and you bring them back to the ship to make new items and to move on to the next part of the story. I do not want to call it a walking simulation with a story and some tasks tacked on, but that is pretty much what it is. There is some light 'combat', but it is stretch to call it that. I think that some people will like the mystery of the story enough to overlook the games wonky parts. However, I think only some will really enjoy the game overall.
