Space Adventure Game

A text-based choose your own adventure game where you are a space traveller stranded in space. Returning home safely means putting your Astrophysics knowledge to the test!

It is a simple Microsoft Powerpoint file with clickable links that I made for a science outreach course. The goal was to create a fun and accessible tool to get non-astronomers interested in Astronomy.
