• A Star Trek expy (there are even space whales here!) with an extensive and even somewhat intimidating manual which sets your expectations rather high - only to bring them down once you find how incomplete it actually is. 90% of the time you simply click on stars and then click "Yes" on "Investigate the Anomaly" message boxes before moving on. You are never really told what any of those anomalies are: Captain's Log entries tell you what item you got, and what kind of challenge (refitting, diplomacy, etc.) your captain resolved to get it, but that's it. Since that's all the information you get, and none of those items are usable in the current build (though some appear to be ship upgrades that could be installed in future versions), you soon stop opening Log and Status windows at all, and only look at the date to know when you should return in order to avoid overstepping your term limits - though with no leaderboard, even that isn't particularly meaningful. You'll occasionally get into fights in space, but real-time combat involves little thought besides rotating your ship in the right way. Visuals are just functional enough, while the only audio is a droning BGM that would feel more at home in something cold and grimdark like Duskers, rather than a game of collecting space whales and Plump Mushrooms. In all, while the concept is neat, the execution sadly isn't interesting enough in its current state.
