Great game, great story! Not an automation game.

I got 30 hours so far, but I wanted to write a thumbs up review as this game 100% deserves it. The capsule art looks like a flash game so I was expecting it to be a little janky and missing things here and there, but to be honest the only thing I can whine about it is some UI elements could've been better but everything else is really good. Gameplay is mostly exploring, mining, finding things and refining them and/or putting them together to make other things. Some people mention subnautica and that sounds about right. There is an interesting story, and whenever you start to get kind of bored, new places open up. Base building is kind of meh, like subnautica again, as you can't build freely, but there are many "rooms" and "connectors" so don't expect too much from base building part of it. Overall I think it's a pretty solid game, especially for a single dev. I'd give it a 8/10.

If you are looking at buying this game to check it out. Buy it. Play for an hour and if it's not your cup of tea/coffee/water, fine, nothing ventured nothing gained, get a refund. What I can say is that I wasn't sure, but I'm so happy I gave it a go. I have rarely enjoyed a game as much as I have this game. There is such a clear passion in this game and it shows in many aspects. It's actually hard to believe that a single developer was responsible. I bought it for the gameplay. I enjoyed the progress. I stayed for the story. With all that being said, is it perfect? No. Do I have a heap of recommendations, hell yes, much like many of the other reviews. What I am sure about is that the developer sure as hell had heaps of things they still wanted to do. As a software developer, if we keep that mindsight we will never be done. At some point a line needs to be drawn, priorities decided and people to be disappointed. Such is the digital world. Look at it for what it is and not what you want it to be and I guarantee you will find magic here.

Pleasant and enjoyable indie game. It has a lot of ambition, and to its credit, it does the best it can to achieve them

It is an okay game, but do not be deceived as I was, this isn't really about building an automated outpost with logistical challenges, but more like an adventure game with crafting.

I bought this game in a bundle with another game I had wanted not knowing anything about this game except that it looked interesting. Well I ended up loving this game. The gameplay is very addictive, the story is very good and the voice acting is amazing. I can say that this game impressed me and is better than a lot of the AAA slop that is being released lately. I never encountered any bugs in my playthrough. If you like crafting/building games with exploration and a good story then this game is for you.

A good game. Pacing is nice during the game, and you always have a next goal you know to reach. A nice blend of base building (think Subnautica vibes), exploration and resource havesting. Not (too) grindy and a good story behind it.

Puikus zaidimas!!! Great Game!

Maybe it gets better later, but personally prologue is repulsive

liked it
