SPOILERS!!!
The game is not what I expected (in bad sense of this word). I expected life full of challanges living alone, like in "The Martian". When you have to figure out how to solve very difficult problems when there is nobody to help you. Instead I got alien invasion plot (I know, it turned out that the aliens are imaginary, but still)
Thanks for the review and for playing the game. So you suggest that the game could have been more interesting with some sort of mini-games based on surviving on the space station? I thought about some stuff but wasn't able to made it. Like I was thinking about a food and water bar. Are you thinking about stuff like this?
I had other scenarios in my head. Namely, "You're your own teacher" and "You're your own technical support". I imagined that the character would need to handle complex bugs in software and manage to repair broken hardware, while having very limited knoweledge of the whole system. Finding what exactly is broken would also be part of problem. And some of your experiments would be risky if your hypothesis about the source of problem is wrong or if you forgot to take something into account. Plus you would need to figure out how to fix the problem with your limited recources (like choice between different crude fixes, each one with its own negative side-effects and risks). Plus the whole system can be entangled functionally. So if you f*cked up royally in one place be ready for severe consequences for other parts of the system.
