How it feels
You play as an untrained crew member desperately trying to restart a failing spaceship's systems under time pressure, with constant tension and minimal help.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and enjoy the terminal puzzles but nearly all say the final sequence ruins the experience. It swaps puzzling for an instant-death chase with no hint, and reviews consistently call the ending atrocious. The game also has unskippable dialogue, slow movement, and game-breaking bugs that the developers never fixed.
