The Wretched

A solo journaling RPG about the last surviving crew member of an intergalactic salvage ship. After an engine failure and an attack by a hostile alien lifeform, the survivor is stranded between the stars, struggling to keep the ship functioning and stay alive. The game uses a deck of cards, a tumbling block tower, and a microphone. Players record journal entries as they confront isolation, fear, dwindling endurance, and the aftermath of the crew’s deaths.
