About the game

Astronaut: The Best is an occult management adventure where people aren't just numbers: they're screwups. You must run a proper space academy using lies, witchcraft, and/or hard work. Guide cadets through a roguelite web of scandals and challenges, or the government will have you killed.

    After spending hours trying to get a decent score and a team for a space launch, everything got destroyed by a lvl. 1 Maverick trait that triggered two bonus screwups for untrained stats and instantly killed my pilot before launch. How fun. I heard that they were going for Papers please vibes, but the whole game seems to enjoy giving you situations with guaranted punishment no matter the pick. After a few too many…
