Weird, dream-like vibes. Not the first thing I was imaging when thinking murder mystery in space, and it was enjoyable… but not a traditional murder mystery to me, and a little too ethereal to keep me grounded enough to fall in love with it.

I really enjoyed this one. It's a sort of a combination of space thriller and detective story with a bit of a supernatural element. There are some great action scenes, and while the characters aren't super developed, they feel unique and do the job. The romance is pretty bland though.
