Hope(less): Just Keep Breathing

Just...

You're alone. 

You're trapped.

You're forgotten.

But you're alive.

...keep...

The environment is hostile. Resources are precious and few. Air is limited. Your technology is damaged. Your grasp on hope is fragile. 

Your only contact with civilization is in intercepted messages you cannot respond to... and sometimes, hearing them does more harm than good. 

Can you hold on long enough to rebuild and reach society? 

...breathing.

Hope(less): Just Keep Breathing is a combination survival simulator / journaling solo roleplaying game, where you take on the role of a sole survivor trapped in an uninhabitable environment. With limited starting resources and time measured in Air, you have to scavenge, gather, craft, explore, and occasionally possibly fight for survival, trying to stay alive long enough to make repairs that will eventually allow you to be rescued (or save yourself). All the while, you have to hold out against despair, despite what's going on around you - if you run out of hope, your game is over.
