The story aspect of the game is characterized by a fast-paced mission structure that some players find overwhelming, as they struggle to keep up with the frequent and timed quests. While the gameplay and atmosphere are praised, many feel that the rapid succession of missions leaves little room for exploration and enjoyment, particularly in resource gathering. Overall, the narrative progression is engaging but could benefit from a more balanced pacing to enhance player experience.
- “Although it seems a little slow at first, as the missions increase and the spaceship gets stronger, the difficulty of the game increases and the game gets faster.”
- “The tempo of the missions is very successful.”
- “There was no space for the player to really enjoy the mining part of the game before a mission was failed due to the deadline.”
- “From then on, an AI voice gives you timed missions every so often, which provide you with the modules you are lacking (which is just about everything).”
- “Its an ok game so far, just wish they would slow down on giving me quests for every little thing so I can play the game and not rush it.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its solid core mechanics and satisfying experience, complemented by impressive visuals and atmosphere. However, players note issues such as slow progression, rapid depletion of survival resources, and a lack of variety in gameplay music. While the game is still in early access and has some rough edges, the potential for improvement is recognized.
- “That said, it's early access; some rough edges, UI and gameplay quirks are still there but, the core idea is strong, and with continued updates, this could turn into something really special.”
- “This game is fun with great atmosphere, solid gameplay, and impressive visuals.”
- “The gameplay feels responsive, and the core mechanics work well.”
- “Not enough to mine (i.e., scan...wait...send a drone); everything is too slow. Survival mechanics (food, oxygen, etc.) deplete too fast, and time moves too quickly, which is weird considering how slow everything else moves. You travel less than 100m and a day goes by, it seems.”
- “There are no inertia physics, no zero-g mechanics, and you can't roll your ship either.”
- “Also, there could be more gameplay music than just one track.”
