What immediately drew me in to this world was the scope of it all. It feels like this universe is huge, and you are only ever traversing a very small part of it on a journey that in the grand scheme of things is probably miniscule, but is packed with an emotional resonance that rivals the best of them.

I won't go into specifics regarding the story, but you find yourself with a crew of interesting characters travelling around the solar system and just soaking in the lore, be it through dialogue, through item descriptions or through flashbacks.

The main gameplay loop is you getting a set of coordinates, slowly making your way there with a few stops on the way to harvest resources and fuel to keep your space ship going and upgraded, and when you get there you either get some dialogue or you get a cave exploration segment. The gameplay hooks are barely worth mentioning; there are some light puzzle elements, some light adventure game mechanics (use item A on item B to progress), some light traversal and exploration as you make your way through the caves and some mini-games akin to lockpicking.

The gameplay is not why this game is good. It's all about the story - a story which would fall absolutely flat if you don't buy in to the anime-isms of the characters. I'm predisposed to like it, but I know that doesn't apply to everyone.
