The game's story, set on a harsh tundra with a broken ship and a mysterious AI, offers a mix of intrigue and confusion, with players experiencing two different endings based on their choices. While some find the premise interesting, many reviewers criticize the narrative for being poorly executed, linear, and lacking depth, often feeling disconnected from the gameplay. Overall, the story serves more as a backdrop to the micromanagement mechanics rather than a compelling driving force.
“It's like reading a short story that you'll keep thinking about even after you're done!”
“The story is creepy and enjoyable but it’s not at the forefront of the game; it unlocks more as you go on and does get more interesting the more you learn.”
“The story has a nice premise, but it is linear and has no relation to the game you're playing.”
“The story itself doesn't seem too well put together, and I believe the game would have been the same if the story was simply, 'astronauts crashed and are now hallucinating on a harsh planet.'”
“The story is quite predictable, with almost no effect on the game itself; personal crew stories or preferences have zero impact on gameplay, they're just decorative.”
“The story wasn't well thought out -- it made zero sense, was extremely dull, and completely unrelated to what was happening in the game.”
