i can say i have never really encountered a game exactly like this before or since, and that goes a long way. it's a great idea.
unfortunately... it is a bit janky. it needs a bit of tlc to run on steam. sheparding floating seeds to specific places is frustrating, some rooms need very specific setups to succeed and there's no "reset" button, and bouncing from hazard to hazard kind of ruins the vibes.
that said, the dialogue and characterization is top notch. and again, the ecosystem you maintain is very cool.

Super fun to rebuild an entire ecosystem in Mars. Dialog and atmosphere is very well done.
Should run pretty strangely on modern machines tho.

Weird and janky but planting all the freaky alien plants is fun
