About

STARWEAVE is more than a narrative-focused tactics game – it’s a tapestry of intertwined fates, a journey marked by camaraderie, laughter, loss, and defiance against the inescapable. Set against the backdrop of a world held hostage by prophecy, you will navigate the treacherous landscapes of destiny and grapple with the chains that bind you to an oppressive cycle.
Developer Note: This game is a thesis project created by a group of students and freelance collaborators. Starweave should take around 3 hours to complete. Please note that the game will likely not receive any additional updates. All purchases go directly to the developers. For more information on the game's development and release, please refer to our devlogs/Steam updates above.
Features:
✦ Squad-Based, Turn-Based Combat: Engage in tactically demanding encounters where every decision counts, and the balance of power can shift in the blink of an eye.
✦ Refusal Mechanic: Refuse to be bound by destiny. Characters may resist their prescribed roles, altering the course of what they've been told to do. It's up to you to come to grips with your errant actions.
✦ Rich Storytelling: Immerse yourself in a richly woven narrative where bonds are tested, friendships are forged, and every victory is a step towards breaking the cycle.
✦ Character Bonding: Experience heartwarming bonding moments with your teammates. Their lives are intertwined with yours, and their struggles, their laughter, and their sacrifices will resonate with you long after you’ve put the game down.
✦ A Stellar Team: Created by a team of over sixty students and collaborators, and including a phenomenal party comprised of the voice talents of Heather Gonzalez (Monster Hunter Rise, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment), Anjali Kunapaneni (Monster Hunter Wilds, The Outer Worlds 2), Marissa Lenti (Octopath Traveler 0, Borderlands 3), and Brian Timothy Anderson (Fire Emblem Engage, Infinity Nikki).
In STARWEAVE, every decision, every interaction, every step taken can tip the scale of destiny. With every choice, you will come closer to the truth - the truth of who you are, who you were meant to be, and who you choose to become. Stand strong against the tides of fate and weave your own starry path. Your journey awaits.

A short, bittersweet dream
art so cute! music so banger! writing so good!
Cute art and great voice acting. While being on the shorter side STARWEAVE is most certainly sweet and worth your time. Gameplay blends in tactics without overwhelming the player, allowing for BOTH the game's narrative and design to shine.
As a curmudgeon, I dislike seeing this plot over and over. As an artist, I have to admit this is the best implementation of it I've ever seen. Anything more would be spoilers.
curtinho me deixou interessado pra jogar mais jogos taticos
This game honestly blew me away, the characters are great, I love the art style, and the story drew me in. Absolutely recommend everyone check it out!
De vez em quando, sai um jogo que meche completamente com você. Que te faz pensar coisas, sentir coisas. E esse é com certeza um desses jogos. Ele é bem curtinho, sua gameplay é bem básica, e seus sistemas não são tão polidos quanto poderiam ser. Mas tudo isso, não importa de verdade. Porquê esse jogo, tem algo que quer dizer, e ele faz isso muito bem. Cada minuto do jogo, cada decisão da gameplay dele, cada sistema. Tá alí pra apenas um propósito, elevar a trama e a história desse jogo. E o resultado? Um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei esse ano, de longe. Dê uma chance pra esse jogo, e você não vai se arrepender.
short but sweet game.
a short and sweet story. the voice acting is great and the characters are compelling! i like the combat mechanics as well. perfect if you are running short on time but want to experience a good story.
a very short game that still is very enjoyable with lots of pretty art my only complaint is that the game is definitely too short and as such is a little rushed in its development and payoff. though it doesnt actually detract much from the story. this shortness makes sense though considering that the game is a student project. tldr(even though its like 3 lines): a pretty game thats perhaps too short but atleast theres a good reason that it is short.
