At first, the game will not make sense. But somewhere around the 20 minute mark (it varies depending on what you do) you will encounter The Event. It will happen. You will know it has happened. It will be, unmistakably, The Event. Nothing else could be The Event. Nothing else could possibly be as momentous as The Event. And then you will have your first real understanding of what the game is about, and it will be very, very exciting.

After that happens, look at the computer in the back of your ship (to the right as you enter). For the rest of the game this will be your most important tool. You'll understand why. Once it happens.

Have fun.

I love explanations like this, at first you don't know what it might be, so anything could be the event, is this the event? No, is that the event? Also no. And then you come across the event and you just know, yes, that's the event

If you're particularly clever, you might see something before the event that makes you go, huh, that seems weird, I wonder why that is. And then the event happens and you're like, ohh, it was the event! It was telling me the whole time!
