How it feels

A slow, serene crawl through a ruined starship, uncovering its secrets at an idle pace.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: some call it an overmonetized AI-slop idle clicker, while others find it a decent free game with good music, generous cross-progression, and no pay-to-win pressure. Complaints include save issues and a dull start.
