The narrative on this game is amazing, it seriously feels like a high-level sci-fi novel. You'll be doing a lot of reading, but you'll be thoroughly engrossed most of the time.

Gameplay is pretty ingenious: you have to manage your 2 decaying energy meters (one is refilled by eating, the other by using expensive meds), that will determine how many dice you will throw at the start of each day. Those dice can then be used to perform actions around the station, with higher dice having a larger probability of success. Your character also has rpg-like stats that give you bonus dice points, dnd-style.

These mechanics are very immersive: you feel anxious when you have too little money to buy meds or food, and the game is at its best when each diceroll can determine your character's doom or their success. And still, the gameplay is mostly there to enable you to experience an amazing sci-fi story, full of quirky and complex characters.

This is a very unique and special game, I would recommend it to whoever is a fan of sci-fi or RPGs (both videogames and tabletop)
