Lots of space game related comments, but none seem close to what I would like, so here goes. I was absolutely blown away by the first part of the 2017 VR game Lone Echo, where you're an android called Jack, and you're helping your commander Liz make repairs on and around a spaceship. I want a game that's basically just that. Hanging out with my AI commander, repairing stuff around the ship, maybe at some point go on almost mundane missions while keeping the ship afloat. No combat, no leveling up, no skill trees. Just a slice of life space sim where I can pop in whenever I have a free hour after work. I realize this is probably an extreme niche, but hey, you asked!
