It has a narrative, with an ending. Think in terms of Myst or Obduction. The solar system is one giant interconnected clockwork puzzleSo I'm just now learning about this one after the Waypoint review.
So does this game have an "ending" or any sense of closure in it, or is it entirely open-ended and you just explore everything until you get tired of it?
On Xbox the game saves every time you die, so your log and discoveries are kept. When you load the game back up you choose "continue expedition" and you have your log.
I don't think the game is very dizzying. Everything I've done so far is slow manoeuvres to travel from planet to planet.

I'm getting annoyed by so many factors, I'm glad this is on Xbox Game pass,
Giant's Deep puzzle:
How do you complete the annoying last step in the "using camera" quantum moving purple gem thing, I can get two purple gems to align, but I couldn't get the 3rd top one to align to the wall, when I had a picture of 2 on the wall I couldn't get an other gems to populate the top, any ideas here?
You need to keep forcing the wall to change by rotating your vision or your camera's position. Anywhere you look away can effectively randomize, so you're not looking to build a permanet perfect wall of crystals, just a pathway one step at a time for you to walk through.
Loving this game so far, but wish I had the ability to roll the spaceship. Yaw would be nice too, but really, most of the time I'm struggling, it would help if I could just roll the craft to level it out the way I want.
And if you're on PC you can hold R I believe to roll. Sounds like you've been playing on hard mode!Loving this game so far, but wish I had the ability to roll the spaceship.

I really didn't know what to expect, but this game really has its hooks in me... it's awesome!
On controllers, you can hold LB/L1 (or similar) to activate a "roll" mode while in flight.

Holy cow this game is amazing.
I went to that stormy planet and had my first encounter with gravity, managing to damage my starboard thrusters after colliding with a cliff. This sent me into a five minute death spiral as I struggled to get the ship out of the ocean, narrowly avoiding a collision with whatever's at the center several times. Thankfully a storm boosted me of the atmosphere (and on my second boost, I actually remembered to get away from the planet's gravity!).
So I'm chilling out above the planet, getting into a stable orbit, thinking "hmm, I'll need to repair my ship. Time to put on the ol' suit and--"
THEN AN ASTEROID OR SOMETHING HIT MY SHIP AND DAMAGED HALF OF IT, OUT OF NOWHERE OMFG. It was a terrifying reminder that space is a lot bigger than just me.
So I boosted away from the planet, got out to repair it, and after I get in... there's just darkness?? I warped away or something??? And then my loop first ended, with me as mystified as ever.
This game has hella charm and is just so beautifully designed. It's invitingly mysterious, and I can't help but love it's style.
Very impressed with it so far. Playing it blind is rewarding af.
It saves every loop. When you quit there's a pop-up about it.Really liking this game with what little I have played. Question though. I quit after playing for about an hour, and it it says start new adventure. How does this game save? Do I have to start everything all over again?

So, without spoiling it too much, how long should this game take to finish? I keep reading about the 20-minute thing but I'm wondering how long will it actually last.

Thanks, this sounds great.All said took me around 25-30 hours? But that was with zero guides or people to bounce ideas off of, and also a lot of experimenting with end-of-loop gamestate stuff.
So the IGN review wrote a lot about this game featuring puzzles and some being complex? If so, I'm sadly out as I hate puzzles. I totally didn't realize this had puzzle elements :(
I played a little bit last night, I loved everything about it, except I'm not sure I can play it. I'm terrified by being in deep black in games, for some reason, and this game puts you in some really scary situation in that regard, and my heart genuinely raced to the point I had to stand up and walk all over the flat to decompress. The thing is nothing major happened, but I just can't deal with being in that digital void. Will keep trying though.
Exact same thing happened to me. Basically, you didn't play long enough to activate the save states. From the point you activate the statue you have to either die or have the 20 minute loop initiate.Really liking this game with what little I have played. Question though.

Think of it as a roguelike, being run-based or something.
Performance on PC is brutal, gonna wait for patches
This is incredibly fucking annoying, there should be a manual save or frequent checkpointing like Hades has. Even with the loop mechanic there's no excuse.
Thank you. That sucks for me as I was taking my time, but no big deal. I will just do it again tonight. The game is enjoyable enough that I have no issue with that.Exact same thing happened to me.

It's not that big of a deal since you don't need to go through reading all the text and interacting with everyone. I got back to my rocket it within five minutes or so. Then I proceed to crash into Attlerock, splitting my ship in two. So I was stuck there until....Thank you. That sucks for me as I was taking my time, but no big deal. I will just do it again tonight.
