It's fitting, in my mind, that a game about the cold loneliness of space is as obscure as this. In a meta sense, the limited community documentation surrounding the game keeps your knowledge of the game as ambiguous as the protagonists reference point for the world they explore.

Yet I'm not too sure how well it does in exploring it. The randomly generated events reoccur far too often for the most haunting ones to stay disquieting. The relaxing quality of the barebone mechanics grinds against how quickly action needs to be taken when something goes wrong. The final encounters are interesting experiments that boil down to trial and error.

Years later, I haven't forgotten my time with this game, but I struggle to think of who I could honestly recommend it to.
