It’s a game about exploring. There is a mystery. There are puzzles. Not much spoon feeding to even find either let alone ‘make progress’. The game expects you to explore to find answers. There is no penalty for dying (it is actually inevitable) other than the time it may take to get back somewhere.
I think I'm wondering if there is more story line or action at some point? I don't need the story spoon fed to me, but a hint of which direction to go, what sort of thing to do next would be helpful. I guess I'll just keep looming around and dying often and see if anything else happens.
Have you tried just surviving? There'll be a pretty obvious hint after some time passes
Not sure what that would be like. Just standing still? When does the fun kick in? I've died and respawned about 20 times so far. I'm good to keep trying, if there's some payoff eventually, as you said.
Well I guess knowledge is power, and power is kinda fun. There's a reason many people say this game is special.
If you don't feel the game right now, that's ok, you can keep it on your list for later. But please avoid spoilers like the plague.
Explore and be curious. Have you visited every planet? Have you been using the ship logs when you're not sure what to do next?
The game is 100% about exploring and learning about the world.
