Out of Space

James begrudgingly arrives at his place of work to discover that a new intern is arriving today. The fear of the unknown encompasses him until he meets a familiar face in the office: Christian, an old friend from college. Luckily, Christian is the new intern that James has been assigned to work with. But, outside of work, James must face his forgotten feelings for Christian. Experience a multitude of endings as James attempts to figure out what he truly wants from a relationship with Christian—or if he even wants one with him at all.

What is Out of Space?

Out of Space is a queer choose-your-own-adventure game by Jason Allen of JdotGames for 1 player, created using Twine. The game follows the emotional journey of James as he faces his romantic and sexual feelings for his friend, and now coworker, Christian. Out of Space uses metaphors to connect the experience of anxiety, dissociation, and coming to terms with one's sexuality with the oddities and vastness of space. Inspired by Gustav Holst's The Planets, Op. 32, the game uses the planets to explain James' complex emotions. Out of Space is available exclusively on itch.io to play for free in browser.

Out of Space Features:

• A story rooted in reality, inspired by personal queer experiences
• CYOA gameplay designed for 1 player
• Six different, unique endings
