Open on Steam ↗US Steam price, checked 5 h ago
A brilliant, atmospheric sci-fi immersive sim with deep freedom and a lived-in space station. Skip it if you want punchy shooter combat or hate backtracking, scarce ammo and respawning enemies.
Great for
Fans of System Shock, Deus Ex, BioShock and Dishonored who love exploring and solving problems their own way
Main risk
Clunky, resource-starved combat with respawning enemies and heavy backtracking can turn it into a chore.

“For me, this game feels like a chore to play. The whole opening of this game is walking around an abandoned facility, reading emails and collecting garbage to recycle.”
