I've read a ton of good things about this game, so I started it this week. I'm a couple of hours in now, but all I'm doing is floating around in the little space ship so far, and respawning every so often when I do something dumb.
Without spoiling it for me, is this really what this game is about? Does it get interesting at some point (soon I hope)?
UPDATE 1 DAY LATER: OK, so, using my ship log helped and I found something amazing. So I think I've found my way now and will stick with it. Thanks @tetraodon and everyone – y'all rock!
Honestly, the game might not be for you. I had a similar experience with it. I kept thinking it would change up a gear at some point but it never does.
Floating around in that ship and reading bits of text is basically all you do.
Hmmmm… ok thanks.
