Errrrrrrrrrr, all I see is a giant law suit for lots of copyright infringements. It 'looks' quite good graphically but also looks exactly like other crafting/building/exploration games with exactly the same methods of drag items from 1 box to another and magic happens from it.
In the video with the dev they do say they lean more towards game than realism. Seems they have some messaging to iron out.

Really, would all survival games be in trouble then?
There is precedent for if several other products are using the same design then it is not infringement to copy those basic principles.

You can't actually copyright an idea or mechanic. You'd have to be stealing wholesale large elements of the game play identically in function and representation to threaten copyright.
I don't think anyone should be saying "Inspired by Prometheus" unless they follow it up with "'s production design"
Interesting - it looks to have a lot in common with "Take on Mars". One to track - thanx for the heads-up.
Oh come on now, don't be ridicules. Or are you being sarcastic...
What the heck - purchased

My comments on Steam after 3 hours play:
"This is shaping up to be a very good game. It already has strong atmosphere and immersion, and a good balance between crafting and survival. It has elements of ARK, Rust, Empyrion, Planet Nomads and Take on Mars, but is very much it's own thing as well. You WILL soil your spacesuit when you are attacked by a pack of vicious aliens in the dark of night!
It is an early access, pre-version 1.0 game, and there are many things that have not yet been implemented. Some items can't be crafted and/or don't do anything much yet, and so on. It is playable and testers are needed! Just don't expect to be buying a polished release version at this time.
However it is has great promise. It's pointless to give it a rating yet, but I would recommend it to a friend."

Any controller support yet?
About what I expected, thanks!
I'm keeping an eye on it, for now. I would like to see it a bit more fleshed out before I get too much into it.
Another thing - the predictable "this is the game NMS should have been" comments have started cropping up. Pay no attention, it's just people venting anger at NMS. The similarity between the concept of the two games is minimal - NMS is to Osiris what Everyone's Gone to the Rapture is to Quake.
To be fair, after killing everyone in Quake one could fairly consider everyone's gone to the rapture the sequal.
oooh this look very promising, added to my wishlist.
