Afterglow
A downloadable game for Windows
GAME DESCRIPTION
You are stranded on an alien world with a failing oxygen supply. Your crashed spacecraft is your only shelter and your only source of breathable air. Scattered across the landscape are energy crystals, the fuel your spacecraft needs to
continue producing oxygen and eventually escape.
The world is governed by Gaia, a living intelligence woven through every plant, creature, and organism on the planet. The crystals are her energy too. Every one
you take kills the environment around it. Gaia grows more hostile as the damage accumulates. Her creatures swarm in defense, like bees protecting a hive.
Only gradually does the player understand the full weight of what they are doing. The crystals are not abandoned resources. They are Gaia's life force, and you are using them up. You are not surviving. You are consuming.
You can escape. But the world you leave behind cannot.

The atmosphere of the alien planet was very botanical, and it was full of unknown and strange plants, which gave me chills!
Even though it's a short game, there were many different environments, and exploring was really fun.
I was playing it while streaming, and I called it "Land Nautica" (or "Land Subnautica"), and I felt exactly the same way about the game.
The feeling of excitement and thrill from unknown plants and animals is similar, meow~!
