This is from the guys who made 80 Days. Looks kind of interesting:

Aliya Elasra is an archaeologist, exploring a strange region of space called the Nebula with her robot sidekick Six, hoping to uncover the secrets of the long-forgotten past. When a roboticist from the University of Iox goes missing, Aliya begins a trail of discoveries that will lead to the very edge of her world - and the ancient secret of Heaven's Vault.
Sail an open-world of fast flowing space-rivers, discover lost ruins, explore ancient sites, find artefacts and translate their strange hieroglyphics. Piece together the history of the world and an entire ancient language.
It says there's a heavily branching narrative with tracked interactions of characters all with their own motivations. So a lot more than 'kind of', really. This is exactly my shit and the art is beautiful too. I love exploring me some ruins and taking things from dead people.
