unlabelledView post →Finished In Stars and Time today. It’s interesting and impressive that the game looked like a very RPG Maker game at first, then the actual experience is that of a narrative-driven VN at the end. Every moment was precious and I wish their next journey goes well and they will have a wonderful time.

unlabelledView post →In Stars and Time - simple but great little RPG about time loops, isolation, and loss. I think it strikes a good balance between making you feel Siffrin’s frustration at the repetition and having nice quality of life. There’s secret croissant lore! Great game.

unlabelledView post →This game is one of those games where after you play it... you just. Lay in bed. Thinking about your life ten times over. Staring at the ceiling, staying up all night, thinking. Remembering. Processing everything you just saw. A game that completely changes your perspective on life. A game that gives you a comfort that hurts. I love it. In Stars and Time has always been on my radar as an interesting game to me. I played it blind, no spoilers. I suggest anyone else also do that, too. It was…

unlabelledView post →In Stars and Time has affected me more profoundly than I could have ever imagined. At first, the game was a genuine struggle. The core mechanic of replaying the same areas and fighting the same enemies over and over again felt like a tedious chore that quickly drained my motivation. However, the longer I played, the more the repetition cracked open to reveal the game's true purpose. I began to see myself painfully reflected in the protagonist, Siffrin. His experience mirrors my own deepest…

unlabelledView post →I promise I wrote a fantastic review in the first loop- and then you read it, bought the game, and disappeared from society for 3 days. When you returned, you had a peculiar look of wonder on your face, like you'd seen the stars cry. This game is a masterpiece, what are you waiting for?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is sort of a case study to me in whether or not games should be fun. I think that comes off a little harsher than it should, I do think this game is fun... most of the time. But I also think about all the ways it tricked my brain and made me do things that weren't fun... for no other reason than because I chose to. In reality, the game never made me do those things, in fact, several systems in the game would have made my life way way easier, but I chose not to use them. Perhaps I'm…

unlabelledView post →I don't know how the Dev (yes Dev singular (excluding the music)) finished creating some of the best character writing I've ever seen in a game, interlaced with 150 or so character portraits in one of the most charming art styles I've ever seen in a game. But I assume they must've met God halfway through or something and were told their endless labour was funny. That'd spur me on.
