The writing breaks my immersion. It's on the level of friends playing a pen and paper. For example a drag queen rescued from an escape pod after 2 months of isolation behaves like a baby (emotionally unripe) or mentally retarded person with no social awareness. Even the threat of being thrown out does not shake him or her (writing inconsistency) out of it. Some characters a insufferable. The only character I connected with was the tutorial corgi dog. And: I never thought, I would say that, but this game is too woke for me. Almost all characters are queer (including physically impaired people like wheelchair users). I want real life queerness sprinkeled in the mix, as this is something I experience in my social environment, but this way overshot the target. The future is queer. Queers only. You are strange, if you are cis, non-inpaired, non-systematically-oppressed and so on. Gameplaywise it reminds me of Faster Than Light and Rough Justice 84. If you like RJ84, you will like this gameplay. One more thing: You cannot pause. Time passes even while you are reading dialogues. It is not a game you are forced to minmax, but a running clock puts me under constant pressure and unlike shooters and high actions games, I really do not want to feel pressured. This is supposed to be a cozy game - or so I would think. Yeah, that's a pass for me. Meh.
