Jumping into this game after playing Gareth's other games Citizen Sleeper 1 and 2, I believe this was one of his first projects before the Citizen Sleeper series. I actually went in blind on this much like I did the first Citizen Sleeper and while I did enjoy my short time with this one, I can definitely say it didn't have the same impact that the Citizen Sleeper games did. It is a simple game, you are exploring the ocean of another planet and discovering all the mysteries that present themselves as you do so which mostly is what services the story. You will be scanning various things, moving yourself between points of interest, maybe getting a lost a little along the way all while enjoying the sweet sounding music from Amos Roddy who did the composing for Citizen Sleeper 1 and 2 as well and I am a big fan of his work. This is not a game for everybody, but if it's on sale and you can just take a look at a trailer to see if it suits your vibe, I'd say go for it, it is very cozy and only took me about 5 hours to complete, you may get a little lost here and there but that is part of the exploration and I found that I mostly never got too lost to where I needed to go. The game will be a great experience for people out there, it just didn't quite hook me as much as I wanted it to.

Beautiful game, great story, excellent atmosphere. However, movement mechanic becomes tedious pretty quickly

a short but very lovely game. very interesting perspective to play through the UI alone. the visuals through the constraint of UI and the depth of vision this game has is really breathtaking. i came here to scratch the xenobiology itch that scavengers reign has left behind and got a much less hotile but equally lovely taste of it instead.

Immersive and relaxing game. The controls, visuals and audio come together wonderfully to create great atmosphere and the dialogue, research and decently written notes really sell the feeling of exploration and discovery. Some may find the game boring, I'd get that (I ducked out on my first playthrough). Some may find the controls "clunky", but for me that's part of the immersion factor - similar to Scavenger SV-4, DeltaV or Duskers the fiddlier inputs and UI design gives a better feeling of being in control of something, being limited by the capabilites of the suit (in this game). More like a simulation game, than an arcade one I suppose? What I would say is more like that would have been better. All sampling is done the same way and that could have been mixed up. Similarly, the base research could have been expanded into a more interactive experience too. I understand that budget limitations do exist though. Overall, I'd recommend it if you want to relax and explore a world. Completion took in the region of 10-12 hours.

Honestly did not expect this game to be so good. Gameplay is simple yet fun. The story and planet ecosystem are very well done. Very calm and surreal
