What it is

A first-person mystery aboard a hidden station sent to study an alien civilization in civil war. Playing the recon specialist sent after its silent crew, you read augmented reality logs left in the rooms.

What players liked

Players praise this relaxing, story-rich sci-fi walking simulator for its meticulously designed environments and soothing voice acting.

The catch

It is over in under two hours, which is thin for the asking price.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 86% positive, but with 1,116 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
