Recently I saw a bit of buzz around a sci fi game that was great if you really liked the sci fi genre - lots of tropes and jokes you may not understand otherwise. I keep seeing Journey To A Forbidden Planet but for some reason the game I'm expecting to see wasn't first person but was 2d. A sort of Monkey Island in space. Have I invented this game? I know it's very little to go on, but does anyone have any suggestions?
Funny sci fi game, can't remember what it's called

Outer Worlds, that had some humour in it IIRC. It was definitely not a game that took itself really seriously.

No Man's Sky? Some of the memes that followed it's launch were hilarious.
P.S. it's a good game now mind.

Thats how I was looking at the connection, purely as both are 2d side on point and clicks, rather than anything else.
it was a newish game, last 2 years or so, but done in an old style. I'm beginning to think it was some sort of fever dream haha. That said I've downloaded Beneath a Steel Sky and nearly completed that yesterday so it has been fruitful all the same

Thimbleweed Park? Not set in space but is an x-files homage.
Can't think of a game that matches yours, but when thinking about funny sci fi games I remembered Giants: Citizen Kabuto. That had some cracking lines with the humans. Reading that there was an attempt to so a spiritual sequel but plans collapsed. Might to try it again - I see it is available from gog.
