This game is fundamentally a minimalistic, guided narrative wherein you uncover the mystery of what happened on the planet you find yourself on - serving as the "AI" guiding the stranded scientist as he explores the planet with your assistance. The story itself is quite compelling (if slow to get to the interesting part), but numerous typos in the dialog, a clumsy UI that had multiple glitches for me, and being forced to navigate waypoint-to-predefined-waypoint all ended up making this feel like more of a slog through a point-and-click nonadventure than a compelling game. I wish it progressed faster / was a bit less clunky, because the underlying premise is great, the music is nice, and I dig the aesthetic - but after ~5 hours to get through the "main" story...I was over it and had no desire to continue point-and-clicking my way through waypoints to finish mapping out the planet.
