I like it when the research team gathered on the shore of the fleshy cathedral and gazed upon the blackened sun as Dybowski utters the titular phrase "Stars Die," and the screen pans to a speckled night sky. Truly they lived on a dying planet.

Honest Review:
Basically a walking simulator with an interesting premise: The planet is dying and a cathedral of exotic flesh surfaced in the midst of an ocean. In hopes to find a connection as well as possible solution to the world's macabre state, a research team consisting of four people is sent to the island to investigate its origins. The story begins with the player taking the role of Dybowski, a survivor of the cataclysmic event known as The Hole, which is cause of the aforementioned state of the planet.
She arrives to the island and presents the player with a chance to interact with the four members of the team, each with their own interpretations of the situation leading to different endings of the game.

Because each character is hellbent on their own belief, this paves the way for a time dependent mechanic in the game where characters will progress without you, regardless of what dialogue choices you've made- that is if you choose to do so. An example of this is that when you die, you're revived after being notified time has passed. To alleviate the sense of urgency, player can choose chill mode so they can play at their own pace.

Pros:
- The soundtrack and PS1 aesthetic lends very well to cement the atmosphere of cosmic horror.

- Although the story is vague, it works it to its benefit. Would play it again to learn more about the lore.

- Each ending involves the character going through an existential question, some with an extreme perspective
(e.g. On my first play through, I chose the lady who I found the most attractive, but it turned out she was a Darwinian Schizo. )

Cons:
- While I love the premise, the way it is conveyed is consists of characters saturating your dialogue box, as if there was an attempt to give as much exposition as possible. While this there are items you could interact with to give more background, I would wish to see more of them present, even if it sacrifices the vague nature of the story.

- While the dialogue is neat despite the saturation, I find that it doesn't affect game progression as much, save for a certain ending.

I'd recommend the game if you like walking simulators and short stories with different endings. I hope to see more from Eric Juvi as I believe this game is the better of the two in terms of story (the other game being Angels Bleeding, which I believe excelled in movement.)

Lying in my bed awake
With the radio
Boy you're always on my mind
There's so much I need to say
But it's hard to show
I just need you tonight (Ooh)
I wanna call but it's too late
Can't pick up the phone
When my heart's on the line


Sometimes I can't find the words
And when I get around you I get
Tongue-tied, and I act like a nerd
So I made you this tape


Just push play (Just push play)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Just push play (Just push play)
If you wanna know just how I feel about you baby


When we're face to face
I start to choke
This is a feeling I can't hide
Think about you night and day
And you should know
I want you to be my guy
So baby if you feel the same
And you're all alone
You can press rewind

Sometimes I can't find the words

Just push play (Just push play)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Just push play (Just push play)
If you wanna know just how I feel about you baby


Every night I close my eyes (Close my eyes)
I'm always dreaming of you (I'm dreaming of you)
It's no surprise (It's no surprise)
I just can't stop this feeling
Just push play
Just push play (Just push play)
If you wanna know just how I feel about you baby


Just push play (Just push play)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Just push play (Just push play)
If you wanna know just how I feel about you baby
Just push play (Just push play)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Just push play (Just push play)
If you wanna know just how I feel about you baby

This is man probably has a migraine.

It was better when I had a gun.

Epic Soulslike. However, I did not like how staggering enemies lunges them out of range for another attack leading to another arduous battle. I would like to see the knockback reduced in the future.

A great surreal visual novel, with an amazing soundtrack!

The real treasures were the voices we heard along the way.

"You're your worst enemy" the videogame

Highly recommend trying this collection of horror-themed games. A total of five games, each with their a play time of around 5-20 minutes, introduces the player to interesting narratives exploring dystopian, sci-fi horror genre. Personally, I enjoy all of them, with Carbon Steel and Tartarus Engine being my favourites: the former enraptured me with its employment of an intriguing laboratory environment complete with various tools to aid one in dealing with an unknown, rancorous species and the latter I enjoyed purely for the plot! Each of these short games I feel like could be expounded further, making impacting additions to the genre!

I really wish more people to enjoy these games.

A giant Terminal Lady offered me a sandwich, and it asked me if I thought it was a sandwich. Such existential philosophy.
