In Stars And Time

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. Friend gifted the game and I absolutely love it. The plot, the characters, the setting, the artstyle; all absolutely wonderful.

good game

[NON-SPOILER REVIEW] I never leave reviews for games but I had to for this because this game needs more attention. This game is truly something else. In a world where remakes and hyper realism are the norm, this really stands out as something really really special. Ever since I first finished this game, i've been thinking about it often. The characters and the fantastic writing have been stuck in my head since I first played and there haven't been many games that manage to do that for me... This is one of the best games I've ever played. From the characters to the story t the gameplay, thank you InsertDisk5 for such an amazing experience that I don't think I'll ever forget. I couldn't recommend this game more its truly one of a kind.

Game is good, I can't praise it enough. Definitely give it a go!

This game has been my obsession since I once watched a streamer I watch play this game and have been trying to find the means to play it for years and finally I had the time, money, and opportunity to play this game and it was not a disappointment. I'm trying to convince my bf to play it because it's just so good and the message is amazing and I love it.

yeah its pretty good

I must say, the game knows how to break expectations in both the best and worst ways possible. By that I mean that you're gonna get hit with a curveball if you expect a straight, and a straight if you expect a curveball. The characters are (in my opinion) incredibly well written and feel very much alive, the worldbuilding is great as well, and the mechanics (and how they're utilized) help immerse you in the story. I'd list more positives but I'm also just really tired after staying up 'til 4 am finishing the game and crying tears of joy due to the ending. I will also say that the game probably isn't for everyone. While the game and story is constantly progressing one way or another, things will start to feel quite repetitive due to you literally being stuck in a time loop and Siffrin being Siffrin. It can also feel difficult to continue playing during later parts of the game due to various reasons. In summary: The game is absolutely fantastic in my opinion and rewards curiosity, but it can also feel quite repetitive. Not to mention the emotional weights you'll be feeling. I'd recommend it to anyone who's got patience, and maybe a bit of curiosity, as long as you know how to handle tough emotions. Personal notes: My 71 hrs playtime is due to me playing the game how I wanted to play it, which means that I played every loop from the start while interacting with everything to see potential changes (there are a LOT of small changes, especially in text, depending on things you've done in the game or where you are in the story). Either way, I'd still suspect that there's at least about an entire day and night's worth of playtime if you speed through it. While playing, I felt like I was getting slightly affected by Siffrin's way of thinking and entered a slightly worse headspace (or maybe I was already in a bad headspace and it was reinforced by immersing myself in the game) so I may not recommend it if you're feeling depressed. Though, the ending may be slightly therapeutical for some. I dunno, give ISAT a shot if you're feeling up to it. It's both an ugly and beautiful experience, and I mean that in the best way possible. I love it and everyone in it with all my heart.
