About the Game

Discover a Universe Where Every Star Has a Story.

Starways: Heart of the Cosmos is a cozy adventure game about granting Wishes, exploring tiny worlds, and helping people find hope among the stars.

Travel between miniature planets using a magical scarf, meeting unforgettable characters inspired by the constellations. Listen to their stories, lend a helping hand, and watch each world transform through kindness and curiosity.

There are no enemies to defeat, no lives to lose, and no race against the clock. Every Wish is a chance to slow down, explore, and make the universe just a little brighter.

Whether you're piecing together a puzzle, helping a farmer harvest their crops, casting a fishing line beneath the stars, or simply sitting beside someone who needs a friend, every moment is designed to leave the cosmos better than you found it.

Explore a Handcrafted Cosmos

Journey through beautifully illustrated miniature planets, each with its own characters, stories, music, and activities. Every constellation is its own little world waiting to be discovered.

Grant Wishes

Each resident has something they dream of accomplishing. Some Wishes are playful, some are thoughtful, and some are deeply personal. Help bring them to life through exploration, conversation, puzzles, and charming minigames.

Relax and Explore At Your Own Pace

There are no fail states, combat encounters, or timers. Wander freely, revisit your favorite worlds, and enjoy a gentle adventure built around discovery instead of danger.
