What stuck with me was how little of the story gets served on a plate. Clues come from scans, damaged records, the colony's AI, and late-night talks with people who are no longer physically there. The more you dig into the colonists, the less tidy their connections become.
The full version is already unlocked, so the complete story can be played from the outset. The mechanics stay fairly modest, but the writing does the heavy lifting. Quietly combing through ruins by day and talking with holograms after dark makes for an unusual rhythm, and the final pieces carry some weight.
