Travel space, explore faraway planets, and see wonders in your starship. A Twine adaptation of Alone Among the Stars [1] by Takuma Okada.
It’s an adaptation of a solo TTRPG that has the player drawing cards to discover new planets, creatures, ruins, and natural phenomena in space, and then journaling about what they find.

At the most basic level this game is a journal simulator. You are given an object or place and are supposed to write about it. The game puts you in the shoes of a lone space explorer, and asks you to role play and improv to fill up a log with your own imagination. It reminds me of the games I used to play as a small kid. with just my pencil, paper, and mind. I could play any game, from drawing two stick-man bunkers and having them wage war or a big tree with people slowly carving out a home into it, while trying to survive on an alien planet. This game goes to show that you don't need fancy graphics, or a pre-made story to have fun. all you need is that childlike imagination and a medium to imprint your story onto.
