You are an isolated operator piloting drones into abandoned ships and stations across a procedurally generated universe. Their cameras, microphones, and sensors are your limited view of each wreck, while typed commands control the drones and ship systems.
Explore rooms for scrap, fuel, and equipment while responding to hostile creatures and hazards. Use sensors, doors, lures, and other tools to gather information or redirect danger; with weapons scarce and information incomplete, each expedition calls for careful decisions about how far to go.
Use salvaged materials to repair and upgrade your drones and ship, while balancing upkeep against the fuel needed to travel between wrecks. Equipment can wear down, and death costs you your run's resources. Ship logs and other records gradually offer clues about what happened to the universe.
Many reviewers enjoy the unusual command-line drone control and the tension of exploring with limited information, often pointing to the isolated atmosphere and careful risk management as key parts of the experience. Some also value the gradual discovery of story clues. Other reviewers find the harsh losses and random dangers frustrating, and a few say the ship-exploration loop becomes repetitive.
