The story is minimal and revolves solely around the objective of repairing your ship to return home, with no combat, NPCs, or significant narrative elements to engage with. The gameplay mechanics are straightforward, but the lack of depth in the story leaves much to be desired.
“There isn't much story to speak of, and the mechanics are very simple to pick up.”
“There's no combat, no NPCs, and no noteworthy story aside from 'repair your ship and go home.' You never leave the ship you start in.”
