Out There
Out There is an award-winning space exploration game blending roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction. You are an astronaut awaking from cryonics not in the solar system, but… out there… in a far and unknown place of the galaxy. In Out There, you will have to survive, tinkering your ship with what you can gather drifting in the void, and spot garden planets to refill your oxygen supply. Space is an hostile place ; dangerous and mysterious adventures will mark each step of your travel. You will not only meet intelligent species that won’t care about you, but also deal with ancient powers linked to your destiny and the fate of mankind itself. Survival and understanding of what is really at stake in the galaxy is the core of what Out There has to offer.

This game captures the dread of exploring the endless unknown of the space pretty well. The game keeps you on your toes even when you have end game ship and tech, because you are always only a couple careless jumps away from your untimely demise. I'd recommend referencing the random event cheat sheet on github to mitigate the frustration though.
I have to admit I began playing this only to try and fill my unsatisfied desire for space exploration after the big disappointment that was Starfield. And to me, this game did the trick. Thank you, mi-clos devs!
