About Aurora Nights
Aurora Nights is an entertaining educational game for learning to identify the constellations.
In Aurora Nights, you need to connect stars in the individual constellations to discover them on the global star field and learn facts and myths behind them.
Have you ever wanted to be able to find the constellations in the night sky? With the help of spaced repetition (a learning technique that incorporates review of previously learned material), you'll be able to recognize different constellations, and a bit of practice would help you to find those constellations in the sky.
If you just love astronomy and stars, or find it interesting that the earliest depiction that has been linked to the constellation of Orion is a prehistoric mammoth ivory carving that was discovered in a cave in the Ach valley in Germany in 1979, then you'll enjoy the game.
Features:
- Discover the 35 constellations of the Northern Hemisphere;
- Mini encyclopedia of constellations facts and myths;
- Get three stars on each constellation in order to remember them;
- Steam Achievements and Trading Cards.

This game is practically a casual clicker where you connect stars to form constellations. It’s fairly short and maybe a bit too easy for people who’ve opened some astronomy atlas at least once, there is only northern sky to explore and only a few texts of basic trivia about the constellations themselves. On the positive side, the game is available at a fair price, and features achievements plus trading cards; but if you’re looking for a more sophisticated astronomy-themed game, look elsewhere.6 found this helpful
Aurora Nights is a small, contemplative indie title developed and published by Vladimir Maslov that occupies a quiet space between game, interactive learning tool, and atmospheric experience. Rather than chasing challenge, competition, or complex mechanics, it focuses on curiosity and calm discovery, inviting players to engage with the night sky in an accessible and gently educational way. From the outset, it makes clear that it is not a conventional game built around winning or losing, but a relaxed exploration of astronomy presented through simple interaction and soothing presentation. The core experience revolves around identifying and tracing constellations in a star-filled sky. Players are presented with scattered stars and subtle guidance, and the main task is to connect these points correctly to form recognizable constellations. As each constellation is completed, it becomes visually clearer and more defined, giving a satisfying sense of completion. This mechanic is deliberately straightforward, emphasizing observation and recognition rather than problem-solving difficulty. The goal is not to test reflexes or logic, but to encourage familiarity with the shapes and patterns …2 found this helpful

Caught green glow, turned out to be my WiFi. Pointed antenna north, neighbor streams Netflix from my fridge. Aurora pays the bills, I am happy.1 found this helpful
I`ve been into Astronomy since i was a little boy, i like this alot, it`s very educational.
Basically connecting the dots to form the constellation. - Basic Visual - Nice music - Fairly easy to form the constellations - More of an educational setting than a game on how the constellations appear and form. - Little to no challenge if you know your constellations, which the game will provide you with initially. - Easy 100% achievements, - You can't go wrong, especially as an achievement hunter with pricing of the game. Overall 5/10.
