How it feels
A lonely, desolate trek across a barren desert planet where every scrap of resource feels hard-won and the silence is broken only by sparse, tense encounters.

What players say
Players are split: many praise the atmosphere and meditation on grief, calling it a short but meaningful experience. Others find it an empty walking simulator with repetitive water collection and frustrating permadeath that forces restarting nearly the whole game.
