About the Game

You wake up in a maintenance room, alone.

Your partner's journal is out in the open.

You probably shouldn't read it.

Features: Rachel's Journal is a short (20min) atmospheric reading game. Most of the game is spent reading, and absorbing the vibrant sound design.

Controls: Mouse-only, all actions are performed by left-clicking. Interaction is intuitive and context dependent.

Story: You wake up on a dying colonial vessel, destined for Mars. As one of the few survivors, you're trying to save your failing mission. Unfortunately Rachel's Journal betrays the truth that reality is a lot more complicated. You're immersed into this world with very little context. Sit in your sleeping bag and read as you try to figure out what's really going on.
