The game, about a stranded astronaut drifting through space, has received over 1,500 user reviews with 98% positive, earning an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating. It can be completed in about an hour.
The game follows an astronaut who loses communication and drifts through a strange, dark expanse of space. Upbeat music contrasts with the setting, and the environment changes with the rhythm. The protagonist talks to characters like 'Curiosity' and 'Voyager 1.' The story includes lines such as 'Why do I need to return to that planet where there are only bad people?' and 'Always moving forward. That's what makes you human.' User reviews note the lack of a back key as a reminder to keep moving forward, and praise the game for making them think about life.
