i simply must talk about a game that consumed almost all of my weekend it’s called “in stars and time” & it’s the sickest shit ever (enamoured, entranced, obsessed) I can’t possibly mention all the things i have loved about this game so far & i don’t want to spoil it but here is a short list, unordered:

it’s in black & white & grey, which given the themes seems very apt. it’s also super striking & rly allows the use of patterns in the backgrounds of fight sequences, the shapes of enemies, to rly pop. it’s. so cool

the enemies are all fucked up little guys n im ALL ABOUT IT. they’re so weird they’re so cool

the pc & their companions are all SO good. their avatars are incredible, their expressions are pleasing to look at AND emotive, & time after time i am struck by how good the characterisation is

also, it’s a time loop

so in that spirit, the pc & their companions are all SO good. the conversations & information changes slightly as you go through the loops so u learn something new about your companions every few loops, or do something new that earns a comment, or find something that reveals that your companion LOVES that thing or hates it

the main character is. everything to me (avoidant little shit.)

the worldbuilding is SO cool !!!!

the actual gameplay is rly rly fun i have played it for about 20 hours now & I haven’t gotten sick of the fights yet. rock paper scissors. it makes sense.

all the skills u get through levelling up have pun names

tHE PUNS. THE PUNS!!!!

anyway I love it so much , play it if you get the chance. pls no spoilers if u have finished it im not done yet!!!!
