The Astronaut's Journal
The Astronaut's Journal is an asynchronous correspondence horror game about loneliness for two players. Players take on the roles of a lonely astronaut exploring deep space in search of another crewmate and discovering that their partner has been communicating with themselves through writing, causing them to experience severe mental trauma as they try to escape from this reality nightmare before it kills both of them together or makes one outlastable at all costs if necessary. 2 / 1
