Beautiful and relaxing, I like the idea of the ship dropping the character: make my think a lot of two space exploration games "Rodina" and "Knytt" (this one is free). If you want simple ideas:
-In "Rodina", you can find dairies, that explain what happened before the hero arrival.
-In "Knytt", You find ,on the planet, pieces of your ship to fix your Ship. And you unlock capabilities, to access new part of the world, like wall jump.
-In "Proteus", the animals just run away from you, and when you enter in a Stone circle you can unlock new marvels to watch. But you need to guess to rules by yourself. It's very nice for an pure exploration game.
