How it feels

Feels like a methodical, educational simulation that prioritizes realistic training and exploration over excitement or narrative.

What players say

Players say the experience is mostly walking around a Mars research station with very little to interact with, and what interaction exists often breaks the game. Multiple reviewers report severe motion sickness and controller issues that make the game unplayable, with complaints that development has stalled for nearly two years.
