DuckE sent me a link to this article which talks a bit more about what this game is. It's an indie game that seeks to be the "first game without a skybox" that's focused on exploration in a dangerous universe.
Sitting in the skeptical box on this game right now until we see more. The idea of what it claims to be has me completely intrigued, but I don't want to fall too fast and end up disappointed again.
I'm also skeptical as to whether it will be a fun game but it is a very interesting concept. Particularly the persistence and the part about people being able to choose if they want to upload their findings.
