Gameplay
The player controls an unnamed protagonist on an adrift spaceship carrying corpses. The protagonist seeks to bury his deceased grandfather.

They are accompanied by a sarcastic artificial intelligence and an immortal chicken.[2]

Reception
Breathedge received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[7] Writing for PC Gamer, Tyler Wilde said he enjoyed the gameplay, but he stopped playing because of what he felt was outdated and unfunny humor.[2] IGN's reviewer, Jon Bolding, wrote, "Breathedge's concept of survival crafting in space may be good, but it just isn't fun."[8] John Rairdin of Nintendo World Report criticized the long initial load time on the Switch. He called it "a mediocre survival game with a pretty good story" and recommended it to Subnautica fans.[9]
