Distant Stars
The Clarke is a state-of-the-art ship that has arrived at the solar system Aspens-3 after 1,021 years of space travel. 200 passengers sleep in stasis waiting to colonize the new solar system. Unfortunately, the ship has been damaged during the journey.
Play as Noah, the chief spacecraft mechanic of The Clarke and the first colonist to wake up in Aspens-3. He must repair three major ship systems alone before the rest of the passengers can be roused from their slumber, all while suffering from Stasis Sickness, a temporary disorder that causes memories to bleed into the present.
CONFRONT YOUR PAST: Experience Noah's memories from Earth.
MAKE HARD DECISIONS: Choose what's best, or choose what's right.
FACE THE CONSEQUENCES: Decide how the story ends.
Distant Stars is an introspective text-based game exploring ambition, betrayal, and the price of dreams.

TL:DR gave this game a chance out of boredom and got reminded why I don't play this kind of game.
Super immersive! Heart wrenching!
