My impressions from playing through the game:

- It's a (somewhat) interactive comic, don't expect any gameplay besides some point-and-click and lots of slow walking.

- Nice visuals, but a bit too much on the Fallout lollipop-retro-future side. Not at all how I imagined it when reading the book. Even the real-world 60's (when the book was written) space technology looked more futuristic.

- Not a lot of "Lem" or the book's story in the game. The game's story builds on the basic idea of the book, but that's about it.

- The main character is entirely too chatty and whiny. I would have preferred a quiet main character and more "environmental story telling".

Ultimately not my type of game, also because I had different expectations. It might fit better on a tablet as interactive comic though.

I don't know - looking at the screenshots on Steam it seems to fit the 50s/60s SF esthetics as I know it & matches quite closely also how for example Czechoslovak (eq. Ikarie XB1) or Soviet SF movies from that age looked like.

I thought Prospect (2018) did a great job of picking up on that and running with it. Amazing movie, if you haven't seen it.
