In Stars And Time

a fantastic time (hehehehe) where everything is in service to the story and it all comes together very well. you are stuck in a time loop and you do eventually end up feeling like Siffrin, whether it's annoyance at the regular encounters, getting lost through various loops and things to do, where you just kind of start losing it or stop paying attention. fantastic execution that didn't bore me, and i would like to say i've played a decent amount of games where they push back against the player with similar ideas and repetition. if i want to get a little bit critical, i saw someone (i have no recollection where, just that i read it) mention that the game does use some therapyspeak and i would like to say i disagree but paying attention to the actual text, i feel like i cannot deny it. it's not particularly egregious and it's mostly in service of the game to push things forward. quite a few times i caught myself going "nobody would say something like this normally" but i've kind of handwaved that issue because the game executes its ideas very well, and that helped me look past that minor annoyance? issue? is it really an issue? hard to say, i guess, since it might resonate differently with people. especially since the game makes a solid point that maybe it's a good idea to talk to people close to you once in a while. at the end of the day this is an excellent package, with some good visuals, some solid arts, fun character designs and a pretty good sound track. i'll be thinking about the title track long after i'm done playing the game. i think you should give in stars and time a shot!

This game is amazing! An excellent twist on the time loop storyline chock full of wonderful characters, beautiful pixel art and lively character design. Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of classic RPGs.

Pretty good

ループもの傑作RPG。所見でやることが強く推奨されるゲーム。 ゲームとしての非常に完成度が高い。 ツクール製であることも、十五年ほど前のゲーム制作ブーム時代の人間である自分には非常に都合がよかった。 ・よかったところ ビジュアル。表情差分がたくさんあり、非常に豪華。しょっちゅう目にするビジュアルがカワイイのって最高！ シナリオ。ややダークな要素が含まれる。感情表現における、リアル寄りの描写がグッド。オチの付け方もよい。 キャラクター。キュートで大人。文化差を持つ、ルーツの異なる人々が、互いにリスペクトを持っている。よい。 システム。操作が簡単。死に戻りなので、ゲームオーバー自体にはペナルティがない。 モノローグ。テキストの出し方はテンポよく、楽しいものもダークなものも、非常に快適。 ・やや苦手なところ 先の展開の見通しが不明。クリアまでの時間が読めない。いつ終わるのかわからないし、今見ている会話が次にも表示される保証もない。見通しが立たず不安になるが、それ自体がゲーム体験のキモなので解決できない。 バックログがない。テキスト表示タイミングが重要なのもあり、びっくりしている間にざかざか進んでいくテキストを読み返す機能がついていない。おそらく、意図的なもの。 脳のストレージを圧迫する。忘れっぽい人間なので、前の周回で見た会話や文脈を思い出すのが難しく、戸惑った。 マップが思ったより広い。構造上、何度も同じところを通るのだが、自身に迷い癖があるので、困った。自前で地図を書くとよい。 [spoiler]長い。もううんざり！ と思ったタイミングで、ゲーム側からそれを肯定するようなイベントが入るのでこれは意図的な設計。[/spoiler]よくできていると舌を巻くが、ややストレスではある。 ゲームオーバー。死にペナルティはないが、今回の周回でやろうとしたことは中断されるので、困る。まあしかし、ゲームとはそういうものだろうとも思う。 ・そのほか [spoiler]プレイヤーが主人公と同じ気持ちになることがコアのゲームなので、[/spoiler]心の中にある暗い部分、他者をいいように操作すること、気質としての軽度の対人恐怖、交流への気恥ずかしさからくる孤立などへの理解がないと、主人公の行動自体が理解しづらいものであるように感じるかもしれない。 自分は『わかるし、とても好きだ』と思ったし、ノンバイナリーでもとんがり帽子でもスピードタイプでもない自分（プレイヤー）が、[spoiler]体験を通して主人公と一体化[/spoiler]していく、工程は非常に興味深いものであった。

This game has become one of my favorite games I've ever played, it is hard to describe the feelings I have for this game. It is a really unique game, the artstyle is really good and I also like the music. The story is truly delightful and it makes me cry a lot. I really like how the games change a lot through the journey in this game (after all Change is really important, is it not?), and the way each character expresses their feelings and actions for many situations, I really understand a lot how Siffrin feels of [spoiler]not wanting to be abandoned by their own friends, not wanting to be hated and to be alone[/spoiler]. Genuinely one of the best games I have ever played.

é só um jogo sobre voltar no tempo, só isso que você precisa saber

i cannot even begin to explain the effect that this game had on me. the last few acts of the story had me glued to my seat and i swear i was barely breathing or blinking. this game is a must play, do it blind, without any help. it will feel frustrating and annoying, but you must know that the main character feels EXACTLY the same as you

Absolutely wonderful story, I love the character development and the relationships you have with all of your friends <3

"I DIDN'T NEED TO REDO ALL OF THAT?????" and "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NOW I GOTTA DO THIS ALL AGAIN" were common phrases I said. Still peak
