How it feels

You play as the station's AI, navigating through cameras and control systems in a tense, atmospheric mystery of cosmic horror and isolation.

What players say

Players praise the novel concept of playing as a space station AI and the authentic setting, but are split on execution. Many call the puzzles tedious and unintuitive, the story disjointed, and the ending unsatisfying. Technical problems like camera clipping, motion sickness, and a required launch fix are common complaints.
