Every game could be like this and I wouldn’t mind; digital spaces to explore, stories waiting for us in there, with the details being not shown nor told but rather designed to be experienced through said exploration. And what spaces does Tacoma have! Every room and scenario filled with its characters’ personalities, the titles of the books they read, the way they set their beds, or simply how they arrange their own intimate places to look at the stars before they go to sleep. I felt like I was visiting Arnold’s room from Hey Arnold, only better AND in space!

And the writing is solid aswell. Granted a little naive and perhaps with a few too many tongue and cheek references, but good overall, with themes, and a purpose and just something to say. Is basically the first half of Alien, only instead of focusing on the horror of the whole ordeal, it has a very human look at the crew reaction and a more decidedly political tone.

Far from perfect, but while playing it I couldn’t avoid thinking that I could play this formula for eternity.
