How it feels

A slow, thoughtful simulation of building and managing a world, with a serene, detached rhythm.

What players say

Players praise the story, voice acting, and exploration as the highlights. They compare it to Subnautica and say it is more of a story-driven adventure with light automation than a factory builder. Some warn of a grindy endgame, tedious backtracking, and poor controller support.
