What players say
Mediocre story and gameplay. It's also too short to make me feel attached to any of the characters, and the lore is nearly nonexistent. It's somewhat good for a mobile game, but I don't recommend it as a PC game with a $14.99 base price.
Not bad by any means, but this feels like a drawn out game jam project more than a real game. Gameplay is extremely basic, there's what feels like 30fps cap that's very annoying when most of your gameplay is scrolling quickly through a map. There are thousands of POIs for you to scan, but none of them have any content attached, no picture, no text, actually nothing. They're just here for set dressing. You can't even...
A very short, chill game about looking into the endless depths of space on a search for something important. The game strikes a good balance between the visual novel parts and the 'exploration' part. While I did like the game, due to the main story duration of just under two hours, I'd recommend waiting for a sale.
