For Whom the Stars Shine

"Some stories are best told to none," she whispered. Long ago, the stars disappeared. Then, a man returned them. Few would believe such a thing; fewer still can recall how he bent heaven's ear. However, you won't find the tale in books or archives—only in the hearts of those who were there.

About the Game

"Some stories are best told to none," she whispered.

Long ago, the stars disappeared. Then, a man returned them. Few would believe such a thing; fewer still can recall his name or how he bent the heavens' ears. It's a story of romance and tragedy that the stars themselves testify of to this day.

However, you won't find the tale in books or archives—only in the hearts of those who were there.



For Whom the Stars Shine is a short kinetic visual novel—a story without choices or branching paths created by New Dialog and cowritten by Pony with a Pen. Character sprites were drawn by Ruvik, and all background art was created by GoodDay.
