A Sky Full of Stars 仰望夜空的星辰

Its peak. 100% worth the $5 i spent on it. Saya best girl, i will fight over this.

This is a good visual novel. It has a beautiful presentation with the character designs, voice acting, OST, and the way the stars are rendered being the brightest spots. The characters are charming, and it's nice spending a cozy time with the Six Stars Club. They all have great chemistry and it's fun to watch them interact -- it's hard not to come away with more respect for astronomy after reading this VN. However, the writing is pretty uneven -- something that was also a problem in If My Heart Had Wings. Two of the routes - Saya and Hikari -- are great. You see them develop a lot as characters, and watching this trio of childhood friends continue their love of astronomy together is a great emotional payoff. There are also conflicts that make the story compelling on their routes. Meanwhile, Orihime and Korona's routes both feel like they should be side routes on a fan disk. They're shallow, short, have no real plot to speak of, and there's a lot of character development left on the table. It's still fun to be around them, but I generally like to get a little more out of my stories than these two routes provide. On the whole, it's a good experience. But if you want to read everyt…

At its most basic level, you could call A Sky Full of Stars a dating game. After all, the four routes involve the main character, Akito, choosing one of four girls to date. But if that’s all this game was, I’d never have picked it up. The characters, not only Akito and the girls, but the others you meet through the 6 Stars Club, are all well-fleshed out and I loved reading every moment of these stories. The relationships felt real and all had their problems that the characters needed to work through. Not to mention that each route involves a different big star event, and an after credits future scene. There are two choice points in this game. The first will decide if you go down the Saya/Hikari path or the Orihime/Korona path, and the second choice will decide which of those two remaining girls you choose. But the heart of this story was definitely a love of the stars. These characters all loved staring up at the night sky, learning and experiencing, and I came to love it just as much as they did. There was talk of stars, constellations, myths, and meteor showers, and the ever present wish to bring back the bright night of years ago. I cannot express how much I loved th…

Coming from the same studio and main writer as If My Heart Had Wings, I expected nothing less from this. And it did, with flying colors. Combining great love stories with advanced sciences such as aerospace technology and astronomy is no far-off dream. First off, I didn't mind the removal of H-scenes; I still got to feel the soul-stirring romance while putting myself in the shoes of Akito Sorami and romancing the four heroines. And if you ask me how I rate the heroines, Saya's the definite first, with Hikari in second place, and Korona and Orihime tying in at third. And of course, as in IMHHW, I imagine an English dub for ASFoS. Based on my entire playthrough, here's my hypothetical main cast list: Travis Mullenix (Rentarou Aijou in 100 Girlfriends) as Akito Sorami Bryn Apprill as Hikari Houkiboshi Lisa Reimold as Saya Amanogawa Reshel Mae (Yuki Suou in Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian) as Korona Kusakabe Elsie Lovelock as Orihime Shiratori Finally, I wish the fandiscs, Fine Days and Interstellar Focus, would have official English releases (yes, I'm aware that there are fan translations for these, but I'm on the fence on getting them).

This game is another absolute gem of a visual novel. I loved every second of it ♥ The story was so beautiful!

I'll be honest, soundtrack is amazing, but this story didn't quite grip me as other pull top visual novels did. It's lighthearted enough that there is enjoyment there.
