In Stars And Time

this game brought me into tears the story of siffrin and his struggles with change and being forgotten perfectly incapsulates the fear of most people with the future and change

um jogo incrivel !!!! nunca achei que ia gostar tanto jogo e passar tanto tempo nele sem sair, não achei que ia me sentir tanto que nem os personagens !!!! muito bem escrito !!!!!!! um dos meus jogos favoritos :)

Playing this game was an experience I will never forget! :D The art and music draws you in, but the comradery between Isabeau, Odile, Mirabelle, Bonnie, and Siffrin as well as the twists and turns along the way keep you locked in. I had so much fun just reading the dialogue between characters. So much humor and charm behind nearly every interaction, even with the people in the town. Their friendship is an anchor in a world of chaos, and it's so wholesome despite the pressure they faced. I also liked how the battle system was based on rock. paper, scissors, even if it did make combat less complex as a turn-based game. My only gripe with the battle system was how tedious it became to battle over the course of the game. I eventually found an item that allowed me to circumvent some of the tediousness which was nice. My main complaint with the game is that there are certain parts that feel unnecessarily frustrating and difficult to complete. I would say Act 4 gave me the most trouble and I actually had to go through a walkthrough twice in order to finally pass it. The story, characters, art, and music make it worth it but it does feel a little too much at certain points even if I understand it relates to a core part of the story. I highly recommend this game! This is one of those games that can change your life by playing. I will never forget my buddies Siffrin, Odile, Isabeau, Mirabelle, and Bonnie ; u; <3

Huge disappointment. I gave it a go, but I really don't understand the praise for the writing. It's constant apologies, constant reassurance, constant “you can do it.” After a while, the characters start sounding like they've all been handed the same script about how to be supportive. Everything feels so carefully softened. Let characters disagree, be blunt, say the wrong thing. Let an uncomfortable moment actually be uncomfortable. Having everyone reassure each other all the time doesn't automatically make a story emotionally deep. For me, it made the dialogue artificial, repetitive and frankly exhausting. The gameplay didn't make up for it either. I wasn't having fun, and the writing wasn't giving me a reason to push through. I'll be much more careful about relying on Steam reviews in future. Clearly, glowing reviews don't mean I'll enjoy what a game actually offers. I'll also pay closer attention to the standard refund limits: 14 days from purchase and under two hours played. If I can't actually try a game soon after buying it, I'm skipping the sale. Saving a few euros isn't worth buying something I end up regretting.

Занимает 2 место в топе лучших игр, в которые я когда-либо играл. 1 место всё ещё держит OneShot, но In Stars and Time очень старался взять первое место Но предупреждаю: после прохождения вы будете сидеть и смотреть в стену, обдумывая жизнь. Так что морально подготовьтесь перед покупкой. 1000000/10 прочитанных мною диалогов по 100 раз :3

tldr: genuinely one of the best games I've ever played, 10/10 basically perfection made into a video game. [list] [*] the music is fantastic, both in and out of the game. [*] the visuals are cute and help convey the message even harder. [*] the gameplay is engaging but just repetitive enough to notice the frustration it conveys [*] the narrative is peak. I don't even know how else to describe it, I just love it. all the little things as well as the actual plot and writing are just so good. [*] it is exceptionally queer-positive, and the way it plays into that is something I have *only* seen in this game. it is incredibly friendly, and even still has the undertones of queer struggles in some parts of the writing/narrative, which ultimately makes it easy to love on this premise alone. [/list] I first heard of this game by the thumbnail and title of a youtube video from a video game character and narrative analysis channel I enjoy. I didn't watch the video, but eventually got curious and decided to take a look at the steam page. bought it after realizing I could pretty easily refund if I didn't like the game after all.(after a bit of troubleshooting since I'm on Linux and had to fumble with Proton for a bit) I started playing and immediately fell in love with the game. maybe I just need to play more turn-based RPGs like this, but this one just really hit all the right things, I feel like. if you enjoyed other games like Undertale, or Deltarune, or if you like queer-positive stories with a heavy emotional impact, you will probably enjoy this game quite a bit. insertdisc5 did an incredible job here.

have played this game for a little bit. overall, i'd say it's alright

Story is good, characters are very likeable, art direction is cute and I did cry in the end. Worst part of the game is very repetitive and shallow gameplay. It is very painfull to walk the same paths, defeat same enemies using the same abilities. Especially in the middle, where plot slows down and you have to backtrack a lot to find the way to progress. It can be intantional — it weight on you the boredom of timeloops, and maybe it supposed to be unpleasant, but I seriosly considered dropping the game. To alleviate repetition, you can zone out on repeating dialogs. It does not work not on item descriptions, monologues and some dialogs, which is might be a bug. So remembering options you already choosed will help you proceed faster. Overall, a very good story heavy game with some minor setbacks.

I don't have the words to describe it well off the top of my head, but this game is absolutely INCREDIBLE and rotates around in my head like a microwave
