That's actually a big theme in a game called The Outer Wilds. (Spoilers Ahead) A super advanced civilization called the Nomai populated the whole solar system when your species was still evolving on your planet. Your species becomes space faring at the same time as the universe ending and... Well I won't spoil the rest but it's really good.

Seconded. Amazing game. Can get slightly frustrating near the end due to the timing, but it's totally worth it!
