Okay finally got around to playing about an hour of endless dark. And completed the first act of the story.

Its a very lonely and monotonous game. And that's by design. And very much a good thing. It would defeat the point if it felt alive. Just you. A failing ship. And the endless centuries.

The toll it takes on your character is obvious, with them slowly slipping into psychosis from stress and fatigue. As failing systems snowball making it harder and harder to complete your work. Insanity sets in. And eventually you succumb. Critical errors result in an unrecoverable shutdown. The ship makes a replacement you. And they step out of the charge module to find the old you collapsed in the corner. Covered in a fine layer of dust. And the next round begins.
There's an endless rougelite mode i haven't tried yet. With three ongoing crisis's. Only one of which is an actual threat. The trick is identifying which is which before its too late.
