Fun, in the "shoddy but quirky windows 95 game" kind of way. The main game is a simple but tough management game of traveling through a hellscape of attrition- sorry, I mean, "hyperspace", while the two other minigames are a very basic and bland Doom-like shooter (where your worst fear is failing because you ran out of ammo!), and a 3D space shooter that truly makes you feel like you're piloting a slow, unreliable cargo hauler with subobtimal combat capabilites and a real knack for catching the eye of robo-pirates. It's more enjoyable if you "experience" it than if you actually try to play it. Personally, I think the interest lies in the visuals, the weirdly immersive management game and clunky but true to life UI (because I feel like shitty second-hand spaceships would have bad UIs), the little events that sometimes have some interesting consequences to them, and the general "feel" of the game. If you try and take it seriously, if you invest yourself too much in the gameplay, you're probably gonna be disappointed. Which isn't a good thing, but I think this game is legitimately not aiming to provide that. Grab it if you like the idea of messing around in a cargo ship and reading messages like "your security officer fell off a treadmill and hurt his knee". If you instead would rather actively play a game than talk to random aliens through the comms station, then look for a better/different game.
