What players say
Delightful gameplay and aesthetics meet a funny and creative sci-fi narrative with many interesting characters and ideas. Strongly recommended to anyone who likes management games.

It is very similar to the Two Point Museum Games on Switch. If you like that type of game you will like this one.
It's like Two Point Hospital, but less British and IN SPACE. Should be a winning formula. Unfortunately my save keeps getting corrupted.
