The premise, in the publisher's words
Stranded after his ship is destroyed in deep space, Harrison, a lowly maintenance worker and our hero, must struggle to find his way home... LOST ORBIT centers around the exploration of space. Players take control of a lone astronaut (Harrison) who sets off on a dangerous journey to rejoin his civilization, armed with only an improvised set of equipment and a relentless spirit. Without the help of his ship, Harrison will need to use the gravitational forces of planets to navigate and propel himself through space. Set in a world rich with comedy and tragedy, LOST ORBIT is a game filled with risk, loneliness, wonder, and death.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core I5 Series, 4 GB RAM and GeForce 4 Series. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Lost Orbit launched on 12 May 2015, within three weeks of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Kerbal Space Program, Splatoon and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Kerbal Space Program, Splatoon, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
