About
In Hiroshima, there was an infamous shrine.
What was infamous about it, you might ask?
First, the shrine contained a god of desperation.
Gamblers, debtors, and gacha addicts came to pray.
Second, it was being used as a parking lot.
There wasn't a trace of divinity to be found.
Third, the shrine maiden couldn't care less.
She did the bare minimum. Pray, park, or leave.
As that dull shrine maiden swept the leaves,
a shooting star shot across the night sky.
She decided, as if she believed, to make a wish.
Before she could, the star crashed into her car.
"Across the vastness of space, we have arrived!"

The Seabed's Shining Star is a leisurely two hour read.
It's almost entirely a conversation between two people.
Make a cup ramen, settle down, and read it in one sitting.

a short sweet story with a good ost
that was beautiful... short and sweet vn... loved it :3
This was such a good experience. I loved every single little detail about it! The artstyle, the choice of music, the dialogue. They were such endearing characters to follow, and the story is both heartwarming and healing. I did get teary-eyed at some point, and I played it with a friend of mine while voice acting all of the characters. Truly, I do not know what else to say to convince you to play it, other than: Altair's cheeks need to be squished. That's it, thank you.

Short, heartfelt, and soothing can't wait for whatever Circle TSUKIYAKI does next.
Beautiful story. Cute, funny, and pulls on your heartstrings at times. Highly recommend.
Super cute story. The art and OST pair with it perfectly. Definitely great for a rainy afternoon or evening in.
Histoire touchante, DA sympa. Je recommande.
Pretty cute kinetic novel.
Игра "The Seabed's Shining Star" очаровала меня своей простой, но глубокой историей и расслабляющим геймплеем. Графика выглядит мило и выполнена в приятной пастельной палитре, создавая спокойную атмосферу морского дна. Сюжет раскрывается постепенно, позволяя погрузиться в жизнь очаровательной морской звезды и ее друзей. Мне понравилось собирать ракушки и украшать свой подводный дом, а также помогать другим обитателям моря. Хотя игра может показаться детской, она затрагивает важные темы дружбы и взаимопомощи, делая ее привлекательной для игроков всех возрастов. Не ждите экшена и сложных головоломок, это скорее медитативный опыт, направленный на расслабление и получение удовольствия от маленьких радостей. Музыка подобрана идеально, усиливая ощущение покоя и умиротворения. Игра оставляет приятное послевкусие и желание вернуться в этот уютный подводный мир.
lovely art and music but had to dnf because the text is so hard to read. instead of a dialogue box, the text is overlaying the background and character sprites in colours which don't have much contrast. normally i wouldn't mind too much, but it's entirely a visual novel.
