this is such a really cool game. cool and amazing art, cool characters both npcs and playable ones as well. storywise is straightforward. for the cw issues, I think it’s still deep, especially during further in the good route and full/entirety of bad route, and I think it handled well. It reminds me of ISAT, in a good way and without time looping at least, but yeah I feel bad for what happened to most of the stars in this world.
Overall, it’s a really hidden gem, and I think this deserves more recognition.
I when in blindly as I take request from my viewers, I like the art style, combat and the controller support and the content warning didn’t feel that deep I barely noticed it. edit: I guess the mental illness that Hazel had.
Oh yeah, for anyone on Linux wanting to play, you can play this game through steam!! Just make it run through proton (experimental worked for me) and it should hopefully run like normal! :D
REALLY GOOD GAME... the characters are incredible and well-developed and the world features so many little details that show it was made with so much love .. the art and environments are also really really pretty. everyone go play starlit void NEOOOWWW
Can't believe I forgot to write a comment! This is one of the best indies I've ever played. I love this one to death. So much replayability -- please work through all endings and side quests, it's so worth it! Beautiful art, music, story. Thank you for this piece of art!
