i really really loved this! i’m a huge fan of deep space horror and i really enjoy the atmosphere of isolated planets and similar tropes.
characters were fun — the “twist” i think was heavily hinted at (maybe it wasn’t quite meant to be a twist tbh but basically there was a lot to pick up on scattered throughout the beginning) but i enjoyed it all the same and think that every bit of build up in the beginning of the story really added to the feelings of peril and paranoia the crew eventually succumbs to. very much a self-fulfilling prophecy vibe going on there.
this hit just about every box for me for a sci-fi horror! would def recommend if you like that sort of thing or even if you’re not as into deep space as you think you need to be.
