Should I avoid this game if I didn’t care for Outer Wilds?
Outer Wilds wasn’t really my thing because it felt like progression was too vague, and instead of being excited by the prospect of finding some new fact or discovery, I often felt frustrated with the game for getting to a new area too late and having to reset to try again.

That’s the game most people seem to be comparing this to. I like the idea of the puzzles, but I’m afraid the room drafting and number of dead-end runs would just end up frustrating me too much to enjoy it just like my issues with Outer Wilds.

1000% what will happen. Imagine if Outer Wilds days were significantly longer, and on any given day 3/4 of the planets were randomly gone. That's this game.

They really aren't comparable but based on what you disliked about Outer Wilds you won't like this either.

This game has almost nothing in common with Outer Wilds. FWIW I liked Outer Wilds but I don't like this game much at all.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. I think this is the kind of game I'd love to see a stream of to get the experience and story, and that way I don't have to be frustrated actually playing it like I was with Outer Wilds. It's too bad, really. The ending to that game was fantastic. I just wish the moment to moment gameplay wasn't built upon frustration and obfuscation. I'm glad people love these sorts of games, but give me a traditional adventure game, puzzle game or visual novel over them any day.
