Dwarf Fortress famously has the slogan "Failure is Fun". This is a game where failure is inevitable, but the fun is in trying to invent ways to postpone it as long as possible. Very clever in its interactivity and while you will fail (ie; die) quickly and often it never feels unfair.

Scratches that engineer itch without being too cumbersome. Unfortunately there are only a handful of random events so there is not a whole lot of replayability. Good buy on sale.

The game is quite limited but fun if you like timed puzzled. It does have humour in it and the U.I. does its job. There is only the tin can to play with. The game concept is solid but we need more options to play with, not just the escape pod. This engine could easily be applied to a shuttle, even a small ship like a personal cargo or passenger ship. I do not see any of my many youtubers playing this anymore. So, it tells us alot about its limited gameplay. A bit too scripted sometimes. Would be nice to have some unpredictability in some scenarios. It is playable and if you like timed puzzles, might be your game. I have successfuly made a few scenarios, but I got bored because it is always the same escape pod. After a while, I got bored doing the same thing. Still good concept, it just needs more locations to survive in.

I Loved this game and how each part of the tin can is important I want to find more games like this now is this game for everyone of course it isn't but if you love figuring out how things work with limited information then I recommend giving this game a try. now i wish that this was scaled up to a starship but with the same sort of components

This is an incredibly fun game. You are set adrift in an escape pod, and any number of scenarios might occur that force you to solve problems quickly. I feel like the game is complex enough to keep you interested and challenged while intuitive enough to keep you from feeling cheated. This has been one of my favorite cozy games for a long time now and I can honestly say that this game STILL provides a satisfying experience for me. If you still arent sold, you can experience quite a bit of gameplay in the Steam Refund window, so theres very little risk. There isnt a 2 hour tutorial or anything like that.
