It takes an immense amount of time for light from the stars to arrive our place. When we finally see the twinkling lights, the stars where the lights came from might have already extinguished billions of years ago. Even though starlight is just an illusion that seems perfect and beautiful, do you still like it?
The player progresses through the narrative by reading dialogue and descriptions. There are no choices or branching paths - the game follows a linear, kinetic structure.
The game is structured in three connected stories, each taking around 1-2 hours to complete. Several reviews note that while the story starts out somewhat slow, the writing and characters quickly draw the player in, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the philosophical and emotional themes.
Players engage with the game primarily by reading the text and viewing the accompanying artwork. There are no puzzles, choices, or gameplay mechanics beyond progressing through the story. This minimalist approach keeps the focus on the narrative and character development.
Reviewers praise the hand-drawn character designs and backgrounds, describing them as beautiful, atmospheric, and evocative. The distinctive visual style enhances the game's surreal, philosophical tone, with many highlighting the quality of the character art and the dreamlike quality of the environments.
Given the linear, kinetic nature of the gameplay, players have very little direct control over the experience. They cannot make choices, skip or fast-forward through scenes, or otherwise alter the flow of the narrative. While some reviewers note this as a potential limitation, many found the focused storytelling experience to be compelling nonetheless.
