When Stars Collide

This game is FREE? And amazing?! I cannot recommend this game enough. The story is so lore packed as well as written incredibly. The romance moments are so perfectly placed/balanced. All the love interests are adorable, so much so that I had to complete every route... besides some of the bad endings. My only complaints being: -The art style isn't my favorite, but obviously art is subjective. -I know I mentioned the lore being incredibly vast, and it is, however it can be A LOT to digest sometimes. Regardless, if you love a good ol' visual novel, check this one out!

Met Erik, 10/10

그냥 짧게 적음 5분간 플레이 했는데 남자들만 잔뜩 나옵니다. 1명이 여자같아보이는 사람도 있기는 한데 그 사람은 비중이 아주 낮습니다. 계속 남자들만 주구장창 나옵니다. 그래서 플레이 하다가 그만뒀습니다. 무료라 리뷰상 추천하는데 "남자가 잔뜩 나옵니다."

Full disclosure: I have played this game in its entirety already on itch.io and am playing again here to support the dev. If you're looking for hours of an amazing story with a great plot and sweet (and a little spicy) romance, this game is for you! The MC's personality is amazing, 100/10. The love interests are all phenomenal, though of course I lean most toward the banter-y/gremlin-y ones, personally. And when there is banter, it's so fun and makes me laugh every time! This is a great kind of story for the booktok girlies and romantasy enjoyers (I mean... okay it's a sci-fi but still). It's immersive, has great world-building, and you can really tell the love and care that the dev put into the story. It's semi-linear most of the way through the game, but even then there's so much replayability because every LI has different responses and scenes at certain points, so of course while the overall plot is the same, there's still more than enough variation to make it enjoyable to go through again and again. Not to mention the bonus scenes you can unlock! Chef's kiss! Amazing! Sometimes I open up the game just to replay the bonus scenes because I love them so much! That being said... if you're looking for explicit gameplay because this was marked as an "adult only" game, I'm sorry to say you're going to be disappointed. If you're just here for sexy-times and nudity, this ain't the game for you. This is truly a novel experience (pun fully intended); you've gotta read to get to the spice!

Was suggested during the 'embrace the unknown' initiative and man was I not disappointed! Gives me similar vibes to Andromeda Six (one of my FAV story/choices/romance game). The fact that this game is free on Stream is criminal, I would gladly pay $$ for this passion work. 7hrs in and only achieved two endings for one character.. so much content and story to consume!

after Changeling and Gilded Shadows, i've had this on my wishlist as a must play, and so far it doesn't disappoint! edit to add: just play it already :)

This a gem. Best main character building as usual. As usual brilliant plot development. I would get hooked even if everything was drawn as stickmen, but it get a beautiful art, too. Grab it while you can

I have so many hours into this on Itch.io. I have never seen a Steamberry Studio game I didn't love, and this is no exception. The intertwined routes is different from the usual format, but it makes a compelling narrative. The characters are all very well developed, the setting is beautiful, and the choices all matter. I love having the affinity meter to help guide me when I haven't developed a feel for who the character is and what they'd like, yet. This is beautifully done from beginning to end, including some hilarious family moments in some of the routes. Every Steamberry Studio game is better than the one before, which I never think is possible. Absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended.
