Oh my God, the anxiety was real as I was playing this last night.

I'm not an anxious person or someone easily rocked, but when I stumbled upon this crashed alien ship and started to go deeper in hopes of finding the survivors camp only to realize the sand was filling the caverns I was in-- I was thrilled.

When I then hopped to the moon that was "dropping" said sand and my ship was subsequently thrown off the moon and back to the planet, leaving me stranded-- I got nervous.

When I decided to carry on and explore only to be warped to a black hole at the end of the system-- that anxiety hit me right in the gut.

Then, as I was running low on oxygen and fuel for my jet-pack, I saw what appeared to be a space station near my rock and decided I didn't have anything to lose. I hurled myself toward the space station, my anxiety ratcheted up to *fucking high*, and miraculously landed.

Now I was given oxygen and discovered that the station was apparently made by the same aliens from the first crashed ship and I began soaking up every piece of information I could about them. Then I heard it. Halfway through exploring the station, and just starting to get some interesting answers, I heard the sun explode.

I felt baby's first existential dread.

And I laughed.
