How it feels

Exploring a silent, derelict space station with a focus on observation and gentle puzzle-solving, accompanied by an ambient electronic soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the zero-g movement and eerie, retro-futuristic setting, but many say the gameplay becomes repetitive after a few hours. The story is told entirely through environmental clues with no dialogue, which some find engaging and others too vague. The co-op mode has a bug that forces a chapter restart on disconnect.
