Description
You, An Astronaut is a solo gamebook where players take on the role of an astronaut who has been stranded in space for a very long time. The game is presented as a stream of consciousness and a computer log. Players are asked to ruminate on choices that reflect on the internal landscape of their character. The game explores themes of loneliness and impostor syndrome.
