How would you react if we discovered a sentient alien civilization, challenging everything we know about biology, chemistry, physics, religion, and answering the questions man has asked throughout history? But what if this alien world was discovered in a state of civil war? Determining that the rewards outweigh the risks, an undetectable space station with a small three-person crew deploys to research the alien culture in search of a means towards a peaceful relationship. Unable to contact the crew, a recon specialist to sent to uncover what happened. What players discover will challenge their view of surveillance, imperialism and moral law.

It's okay. The puzzles are a bit tedious and the game is very short, but it's otherwise quite good. Visually very good, and the story is decent.

An above average walking sim with some puzzle elements an a compelling story. Short, but that's okay. It oesn't outstay it's welcome. Voice acting an graphics are top tier. A good game for dark room, and a quiet chill night.

It's decent enough if you're craving a story-oriented sci-fi/space game. The exploration is actually fun, although some of the puzzles are tedious, and I experienced a bug where running didn't work at all. The story is decent enough, even if you foresee the twist.

Nice walking sim with sporadic puzzles. Not so long but lots of logs to read and listen to around the map.
Not bad alltogether, clever ending.

Outrageously short walking sim. Heck, if you don't stop around to read everything and investigate every corner you will finish it within the refund window. Hah! 1.50 was a fair price and I can actually recomend it for that much. If you like Sci-Fi and some mystery experience/investigation then go ahead. It's more of a virtual experience than game. Puzzles were incredibly simple and easy but somewhat satisfactory and didn't break the pace.
Story is servicable but nothing special. You'll figure out the "twist" really fast, with more and more obvious clues as you keep on exploring. It would have worked 10, 15 years ago but at this point I am just tired of self-hating oikophobes taking over the entertainment industry. Rather than self-reflect or feel cathartic, I was like "eh, it's this same thing all over again." Sorry writers, you're not profound; you're just preachy and pretentious.
The "show, don't tell" approach that was promised kinda delivered in a way. The locations and rooms managed to tell a story. There are audiologs and text notes but, compared to other games, they are sparse. The attempt was appreciated but it felt like that the devs just decided not to overload the place with audio logs and notes like everyone else does, and just that alone did a lot.
For 1.50 go ahead. Otherwise, you absolutely don't need it in your life. But the investigation and exploration itself was pleasant, even though there was no sense of any danger, dread or unease you'd expect from a derelict space station. There are few scripted "moments" but I never felt watched, stalked or pursued (yes, I noticed the cameras tracking me).
It's okay. For 1.50. To be fair, if it went on any longer it risked falling off in quality.
