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.
Great paced playthrough with a spooky atmosphere. I loved the reference to CHAREN and the opportunity to explore more of that games universe too. I will be replaying this to flip through more pages in her journal!
Short and sweet. Interesting and compelling atmosphere. I really appreciated the sound design and visuals.
This game made me feel exactly as a horror game should, uncomfortable. Take your time with this one a really absorb the sound design (recommend headphones for this one) and the subtle visual changes as you read Rachel's Journal. Truly by the end I had no idea what was happening and enjoyed being as lost as the character.
