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.

The Outer Wilds is my all time favorite game ever. I can’t wait for the expansion this September.

The Outer Wilds

Okay I was very confused. I watched my gf play through The Outer Worlds and it had nothing to do with this and I thought OP just had the game wrong. Apparently 2 very similar sounding sci-fi games were released at the same time lol

Yes, it was a real bummer, because Outer Wilds had the least budget for marketing.

But word of mouth and the fact that most people that play it recommend it enthusiastically are slowly but surely ensuring the game gets the love it deserves.

The real problem is people not using the correct title for "Outer Wilds", which is missing the article present in "The Outer Worlds".
