I've been intrigued by oceanic survival sim The Last Caretaker since it was announced, but I have also been a little confused by its tone. Is it a melancholy adventure about being the last sentient being on an abandoned Earth, an optimistic sci-fi story about ensuring the long-term survival of the human race by growing people in vats and launching them into space, or a knockabout crafting-explore-o-thon where you build a big daft base on your boat?..
