This was an amazing game to experience. The writing and world building is top tier and genuinely makes you care about your team playing through the game. Combat is simple & effective, but the loop mechanic is what really sells the entire the game. This game deserves more attention!
One of the best games ive ever played, stars
♥♥♥♥ it, it got me
"Siiiiiiiiiiigh, here we go again..." the game.
very cute game love every minute of it
When I first started playing In Stars And Time, I was under the impression this would be a short little game I'm gonna finish in a few hours and move on. I couldn't have been more wrong. I was suprised just how much this game has in it. Sure, the main gameplay loop gets repetitive after a while but due to spoiler reasons, I don't even mind it. The story is one of the best written ones I've seen in a game for a while and after beating it, it will propably stay with me for a long time. This has became one of my favourite games of all time and after competing it, I feel a hole in my heart that only the little silly Siffrin can fill.
The time loop shenanigans are hard to pull off well, but this game does a good job. It's major failing, for me, is that it is wayyyyyyyy too wordy. I know it's an RPG, but it feels more like a textbook than a novel sometimes, but I can forgive it. It has a lot of world to set up, I just wish it did more showing instead of telling. The art style is so charming and the characters are even more so. I'm excited to play more.
Worth every silver coin and tear that I shed. Absolute gem that will stay with you for a long time. Even if I could loop I'd still come back to play this. Even if I could loop I'd still come back to play this. Even if I could loop I'd still come back to play this. Even if I could loop I'd still come back to play this. You get the point. Dziekuje. Thank you for this experience.
One of if not the best RPG game out there (and my personal favorite) This is a game best experienced completely blind, but as the trailer and steam description show, this is a game based around time loops. There is SOME backtracking, but it's not nearly as much as you'd think, and there are several quality of life features that keep it to a minimum. There is a lot of dialogue, probably about half of your time will be spent reading so if you can't stand games with lots of dialogue you might want to think twice, but the story that this game tells is unmatched. The gameplay is good, too, with a simple but fun combat system that flows very well once you get used to it, which shouldn't take long. There are puzzles, too, mainly about acquiring information and piecing it together by interacting with various things throughout the game. This can however lead to a lot of aimlessly searching for anything different or any new information that you can acquire based on what you previously know, and you may need to even look up what to do next, but this is only a small portion of the game. I would strongly recommend this game if for the story alone, but it's also fun to play and has very good music too!
The story, dialogues, lore, and art are phenomenal. What holds this game back is a bare bones combat system and some mind-boggling design decisions. Many a time the game needs you to interact with a specific object or talk to a specific person in order to progress, sometimes offering vague hints, resulting in endless looping through the game until you find the thing. Doesn't matter if you've interacted with it in the past. While it ties into the themes of the story, it doesn't make it any less tedious.
