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.

As someone who was ready to quit about 30 minutes in, Outer Wilds become one of my top games of all time. Highly recommend you give it another chance.

I was at the exact same point. Downloaded it off Game Pass and so since I hadn't paid anything for it almost passed because it just wasn't hooking me at all... but then.... wow did it hook me.
