A Field of Flowers and Stars

A cute little kinetic novel you can finish in one sitting, telling the story of a space traveler that crash-lands on an unknown planet, sets about repairing her ship with the help of a new friend, and they go an adventure together, ultimately finding love AND saving a city together. The art style is simple, but beautiful in its simplicity. The characters feel alive and it's heartwarming to see how they interact, the story's pacing feels just right to bring their adventure to an exciting ending while sprinkling cute moments here and there. And it's all free, too. If you're at all a fan of sci-fi, yuri-romance, or both, why not give it a try?

I don't want to sound harsh but it's kinda mid to okay. I didn't heard any music until i reached 52 minutes in (was ~30% afk on my play time). Takes about 60-70 minutes to go through if you don't skip, and 2h or so if you take your sweet time (I followed the dialogues and read at my speed in narrative passages). Though, 95+% is dialogues. The end had a plot twist that brightened the overall opinion I had about it. But sadly it doesn't cut it as "good enough" to recommend. I feel bad about leaving a negative review, this definitely should have a "neutral" score.

It's pretty good. There's a lot I could nitpick, but overall I enjoyed the whole story. This was also the first visual novel I've seen with mouth flapping animations when the characters talked. It's a tiny thing, but I thought it really added to the experience.

[h1]Before I played A Field of Flowers and Stars, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

✔️Played on Steam Deck, working fine (07/11/2022). Touchscreen to navigate through the menu and button 'A' for advancing text. The love story feels a bit rushed, but considering this game was made for a game jam and the time constraints that implies it's pretty well executed. I was surprised by how good the english voice acting sounds.

very very gud
