Come friend, sit by the fire and let's watch the stars die together. I've played a lot of games, but this one hits different. Incredible story and I like that you only use knowledge of what you learned to progress. Bittersweet.

Amazing hidden gem! People cannot really sell you the game as the main progress of the game is KNOWLEDGE. But trust me, it is an amazing experience!

Really well put together! Spoiler free: If you enjoy a good puzzle and aren't afraid of the challenges of navigating Space, you'll love this game as much as I do. The story, mechanics, and setting are deceptively simple– once you get into it, you can't help but be pulled in to the beauty and depth of every part of this game.
