April 2025
A fun System Shock-lite. It's a nice change of pace to have a simple imm sim. Grab it on sale and enjoy some lonely deep space vibes while uncovering what happened happened to the Xanadu crew over a few hours

A decent sci-fi horror game. Get it on sale for a couple dollars and you'll have a decent 1.5-2hr game lined up.

1. The game has a lot more immersive sim elements compared to "horror FPS" or whatever; 2. Finished it while trying to explore as much of the ship as possible in an hour and a half. It is somewhat replayable / speedrunable; Overall I really do recommend this. Would I have paid 5 euros for it? maybe not (even though it's still really cheap), but at 1,24? it's a steal and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of immsims

I really enjoyed playing this game. I spent most of my time aboard the Xanadu in peaceful mode, exploring every room, reading every e-mail, eating donuts, and playing an arcade game. The story is simple and unfolds at a good pace. The graphics and music won't win any awards, but they get the job done. Full disclosure: I am not a FPS fan and I rarely play those games. I got killed a lot in easy mode. If you're an experienced FPS player, you'll probably survive longer than I did.
