You, an Astronaut
You're an astronaut who has been stranded and cannot remember how much time had passed since your last log entry (months or years). The spaceship's engine is off-course due to a recent malfunction that leaves the player feeling lost, scared of being forgotten for long periods. They are alone in their ship with no help forthcoming from outside sources - making them worry about going insane without human company while also fearing they will become disconnected completely if left too much longer on this deserted planet (and how fast would you go crazy?). The game is a staple-bound solo roleplaying game that can be purchased online for $10, and the story revolves around themes of queer representation in storytelling.
