Close but no spice!
Me reading: Star... Oh my... sand. Oh well. Let see next time.
Gameplay reminds me of The Solus Project and Subnautica plainly based on videos of the gameplay.

There are several games elsewhere with names beginning with 'Star' that I would like here on GOG as well.

The only thing this game is missing is a bunch of houses that are all bickering over who controls the spicy drugs.
Sure. There is missing a lot of Star*** games. Where *** equals wildcards = whatever.
And when we substitute Star with * we get ****.
So in the end we're missing **** games here. Coincidence? :)

But... without spicy drugs, the dreamers in the Guild of Navigators can't fold space and whooosh everything around!
The main inspiration for the game is the desert survival story of this guy:

Thus the only solution is more spicy drugs for everyone!
Looks like a game with a lot of exploration? How hard is this game?

The reviews seem low right now but it's mostly people complaining that the in-dev version was not updated anymore. But now there is a full release so I assume the developer didn't abandon the game after all.

There have been too many games (in general) coming out of early access with minor stuff added/changed while having a 1.0 sticker slapped onto them. When something like that can happen with the likes of higher-profile games such as M&B 2: Bannerlord, I will remain wary of games using such development methods.
