Aided by a visual hand monitor of some sorts which shows you details about the environment like wind velocity, ambient temperature, climate etc., It shows info about your body too like body temperature, hydration, hypothermia, calories burnt etc. You play as an astronaut is stranded on an alien planet alone and helpless. The moment you start the game, you are greeted by the alien planet and a mysterious theme music which I loved.
