About the Game



In the tradition of ACTRAISER, Stella Pastoris is a fusion of god game and shmup

Shepherd and defend the Faithful against the mechanical evangelists from your old home of Terra. Commune with your fellow spirits to determine the fate of the last flesh and blood humans.

  • Defend against machine evangelists who seek to grant the Faithful eternal "life"
  • Recover knowledge from the wreckage of the doomed ships
  • Build the means to supply the needs of the ever growing ranks of faithful, both material and spiritual
  • Face the Void, on Proxima death is certain...or is it? Pledge allegiance to machine spirits to unlock hidden buildings
  • Explore the world to find the scarce resources needed to survive
  • Discover one of four endings, each determined by your dialogue with the spirits
