It is like a novel because you pretty much have no control over the outcome (there was little information on how good\/bad a planet is), the choices are pretty much random but I like how your choices will become a unique story for you. The text may need to be re-positioned a bit because it was obscured by the planets. It does give you the fun for purely exploring but it would be better if the player is more informed."},{"author_name":"GAFBlizzard","author_uid":"12278","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 6:46am","epoch":1409035260,"text":"Funny descriptions.  :)"},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 8:17am","epoch":1409040720,"text":"Hi there...
