You are an astronaut trapped in a distant solar system with many questions and one very fast ship. You can land on any asteroid or stand atop any mountain, if you don't burn up in the atmosphere on your way down. Everything is rendered to scale with completely seamless transitions. There are enemies, but you can take them; there are mysteries, but they are just another excuse to go exploring. This is all so ambitious and novel that the game engine was developed completely from scratch, not out of hubris but because maintaining immersion at such variable scale simply isn't possible in any mainstream game engine.

It can only get better from here.
