No enemies, no puzzles, no obstacles; just you and a endless megastructure.

Note: WASD and mouselook to move. R respawns. Immediate spawn area causes occasional lag issues, the rest of the game should work fine. All structures are 100% procedurally generated using simple rule sets using Structure Synth. Scripts are included in source!

Pretty!

Would love to play something like a parkour/jetpack game set in this world.

Definitely the most visually stunning game I've seen. Really impressive. Just not really a game, more of an interactive... thing. Kudos.

Really nice graphics and setting but there's not much to do. Good job nonetheless.

That's beautiful :)

I do really wish that I could move a bit faster. I know that you want us to take it all in but...there was stuff I wanted to look at. That I couldn't. Because it was too far away.

Hey, you should make an Oculus Rift version of this. The visuals are really something!

it sure looks pretty, but it lacks "something" for me

Not a game at all, but visuals are amazing!

The art is incredible, and this universe is so ... deep ... I loved it a lot. The only missing thing would be a calm music.

I love people who think they can define what is and what isn't a game,

there is beauty in simple interaction

This looks just stunning. As @Masadow said, with some music it can be a very relaxing experience.

A little audio would have gone a long way. Gorgeous stuff, though.

Awesome structures.

Lovely visuals but unfortunately not more than that. Even the interactivity feels so limited with the slow speed.
I know you're doing more cool stuff with these visuals though and I'm looking forward to that!

Hauntingly beautiful environment and would love to see it expanded. I spent way too long trying to get close to that star before giving up.
