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!

I mean, it's the main mechanic of the game, and happens in the first 22 minutes of the game. I would not describe that as a "major spoiler" but it is neat when it just happens suddenly.

I didn't mean to offend. But what's a minor spoiler for some might be a major spoiler for others, which is the case for the OP. It'd be pretty sad to miss out on the "when it hits"-moment

Well, OP was talking about putting the game down, in which case they never would have seen it anyway. I'd rather someone know it's coming and stick with the game than not know about it and stop playing
