I've read a ton of good things about this game, so I started it this week. I'm a couple of hours in now, but all I'm doing is floating around in the little space ship so far, and respawning every so often when I do something dumb.

Without spoiling it for me, is this really what this game is about? Does it get interesting at some point (soon I hope)?

UPDATE 1 DAY LATER: OK, so, using my ship log helped and I found something amazing. So I think I've found my way now and will stick with it. Thanks @tetraodon and everyone -- y'all rock!

Have you tried just surviving? There'll be a pretty obvious hint after some time passes

Not sure what that would be like. Just standing still? When does the fun kick in? I've died and respawned about 20 times so far. I'm good to keep trying, if there's some payoff eventually, as you said.

Well I guess knowledge is power, and power is kinda fun. There's a reason many people say this game is special.
If you don't feel the game right now, that's ok, you can keep it on your list for later. But please avoid spoilers like the plague.

Explore and be curious. Have you visited every planet? Have you been using the ship logs when you're not sure what to do next?

The game is 100% about exploring and learning about the world.
