About
The Falling Star is a short, atmospheric first-person narrative adventure set in a fragmented dreamscape. You play as a young girl, journeying through a surreal memory world shaped by grief, love, and unanswered questions. After your mother’s passing, you follow her final wish—to uncover the truth behind your missing Aunt Jiang, and in doing so, begin to understand the family stories left unspoken.

Designed to be completed in around 20–30 minutes, The Falling Star offers a focused, emotionally resonant experience. Perfect for players who enjoy introspective storytelling and atmospheric exploration.
Wander through beautifully crafted environments that blur the line between memory and imagination. From quiet bedrooms to abandoned factories and the remains of a once-bustling town, each area reflects pieces of the past waiting to be pieced together.

Uncover clues hidden in the world—handwritten notes, old objects, and family relics. Light puzzle-solving is used to guide your journey and encourage thoughtful exploration.
Instead of lengthy cutscenes, the narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling. Examine everyday items and listen to the protagonist’s inner thoughts as she reflects on her family’s history.
Accompanied by original gentle music and ambient sound design, the experience invites players to slow down, feel, and remember.

If you appreciate narrative-driven games like What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, or To the Moon, The Falling Star offers a similarly heartfelt tale in a compact and accessible format.
No combat. No time limits. Just you, your memories, and the stars.
Chase the star, while you still can.

Nice little story-driven game. Voice acting and pacing is what lets it down, but I won't complain too much as it is free. there is no save feature, but game is so relatively short that it only matters a little. I did several playthroughts for achievements, so expect a good 20-25 min for a single immersive playthrough. Not my biggest recommendation, but a recommendation non the less.
Es macht denkend... ...da hat jemand seine "Mommy Issues" zu verarbeiten. Ansonsten, ein gemütlicher Walking Simulator. It makes you think... ...someone has their "mommy issues" to deal with. Otherwise, it's a cozy walking simulator.
“The Falling Star” is a quiet, emotional short game that tells a thoughtful story about family, loss, and memory in just a few minutes. Its presentation is simple but atmospheric, with gentle music and minimalist visuals. For those who enjoy narrative-driven adventure games, this is a touching experience with a personal touch.

good idea, but poorly executed.
全成就了,于是写点什么。 很喜欢的一点是,故事就只是故事。我并不是来改变的,我只是来看的。故事就这么发生了,于我并没有什么关系。我只能看着,我只是看着。但这也就足够了。故事的是非功过就留给他人评说,对于故事中的人,这已经是全部了。 问题当然有,但是以这个体量,讲一个小故事,已经足够了。慢慢见证一段故事吧。
Played the alpha version of the game. Decent atmosphere and storytelling in a combat game world. Like and enjoy a lot.
A very warm, heartfelt story that reached straight into my heart. The design is beautiful and clearly high quality throughout. An hour very well spent—highly recommended!
Nice game with a very heartwarming story. Loved it! [spoiler] 等等,夺少?十万刀??? [/spoiler]
