How it feels

You fumble through a vast, debris-strewn wreck in space, balancing grim survival with absurdist humor.

What players say

Players split on the humor, with many calling it forced and unfunny, while others enjoy the absurdity. The game starts as a survival crafter in space, then shifts to a linear story-driven section, which some find jarring. Comparisons to Subnautica are common, but oxygen management frustrates early on.
