It's really too bad that they never bothered to balance the game. If it was just its narrative and strategy and resource management, then it would be really fun and engaging for a couple hours until you notice most of the issues.

1. After the tutorial, your ship hull is destroying itself constantly, and even after replacing the engine, the damage is still severe and neverending. You'd think that repairing it enough would replace the parts causing the continued damage, but it doesn't. You'd think that replacing the engine would repair the engine damage since it's a brand new one, but it doesn't.

2. You only have so many crew, and they really enjoy having accidents that costs them their lives. At one point the game does say that there's no time for the human reproductive cycle, you need cryopods, so don't go thinking breeding is a thing. People can get injured and die anywhere, even on buildings that have been deactivated. Even in a cricket farm somehow. So many Darwin Award winners.

3. The cryopods have people in them- who knows whether they're workers or not. I actually like this. However, since some of the game does pay attention to the emotions of the characters, and a ruin says that you and your crew are the enemies of humanity, and it's been hundreds of years since then... there should be SOMETHING focusing on the fact that those cryopod people were raised thinking you're an irredeemable monster and now they're on your ship. There's nothing.

4. The game just plain isn't balanced. Wanna know how to get your ship destroyed and everyone killed? Go park in space away from everything (in RL, there are reasons our starships and space stations get wrecked, and no small part of that is because of orbital debris. So go park somewhere there isn't any) and then go AFK. How's this make sense? It's a game mechanic- the entire game is on a timer, but there's no visible timer present. The mechanics all point at it though, in the code.

5. Speaking of code, even if you do hack the game like I did, to make it playable, you have to edit the files so much that you'd be better off playing a better game or coding something from scratch instead of fixing their errors. When I say errors, what I mean is that the ideas behind the game's design are flawed. Bad choices were made, and the mechanics were all based on them.

6. Is the game worth its price? Not even close. I've played free games that I got more enjoyment out of.

TL;DR
Overpriced piece of ♥♥♥♥ that's not fun and doesn't follow its own logic.
