The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a mix of survival mechanics where players must manage hunger, thirst, and health while navigating a ship and solving problems. However, it can be challenging and sometimes confusing, with a steep learning curve and a lack of clear guidance on objectives. While the atmosphere effectively conveys a sense of isolation, some players feel the gameplay lacks depth to maintain long-term interest.
- “The core gameplay is essentially fixing problems on the ship, researching new abilities/technologies, crafting upgrades, and maintaining your hunger, thirst, morale, and health.”
- “The gameplay involves you running around the ship fixing breaches and in the process keeping up your basic needs such as hunger, thirst, morale, oxygen, etc. It’s a good concept and the atmosphere of the game really gives that all alone in space scary feeling.”
- “Although the game is a bit lacking in sound design and story, its gameplay is pretty good, and I found it entertaining.”
- “Just like Don't Starve, this is a game where you will die repeatedly over and over and start from the beginning each time while you try to figure out how the game mechanics work.”
- “The gameplay itself just doesn't have enough substance at the moment to retain interest for very long.”
- “Gameplay: it's hard to survive 3 days let alone more days, but when you understand the ship better, each playthrough goes a little easier. For example, the infirmary on T|01 changes position on every new playthrough. The game is sometimes a bit too hard at certain points; for some objectives, you need to make an item, but they don't really tell you where that item is, they only give you a tip. Honestly, you should have a minimap in this game.”
