RymdResa finds poetry in cripplingly lonely space exploration

Welcome to our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans, nagging questions, and whatever else we feel like talking about. No matter what the topic, we invite everyone in the comments to tell us: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
RymdResa is a game about being alone. Developed by a Swedish couple and currently available on Mac and PC (with eventual releases for Wii U and Xbox One in the works), it casts you as one of the last survivors of a destroyed Earth. You wander the galaxy in a tiny ship, searching for something worth looking forward to: a new home, perhaps, or at least enough fuel and food to last through the next outing. The game surrounds its exploration, fraught with danger and a feeling of profound limitation, with tiny snippets of poetry, composed by the pilot to keep himself sane.
“May I sit on the moon and sing one day,” he says to no one after a long two years in the void. “To be light. To be somewhat glad to be in this universe. To be a survivor. Wish me luck.”
