Missing Stars

This ain't it, unfortunately. I've been following the development of Missing Stars since the very beginning, after playing Katawa Shoujo and having my mind blown by that amazing game, I wanted more. Having a plethora of mental illnesses myself, I was hoping there'd be decent representation in this game, and waited. And waited. And waited. For a game that began development in what, 2013 or so, you'd expect it to be ... done by now, right? What we got was an act 1 that has nearly no options in it, the ones we do get make no sense (I'd be going for one girl and still get another, even when replaying it), and there haven't been updates in forever. The updates we have gotten have been: Removing Lena's route. Making it look more polished. Please just finish all the routes before polishing act 1. Redoing sprites. Okay, great, now you need to go in and replace 'em all. Focusing on side characters. Do I even need to point out why that's an issue, when you should be writing your main character's routes? Somnova has asked for feedback. I would like to say I've offered my help 4-5 times as someone who deals with what most of the characters seem to deal with. Also, what's with not naming t…

"Missing Stars" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a very badly written Vietnamese e-book that seeks to treat mental illness through the medium of a completely garbage high school anime club drop-out fan-fiction. It's incomplete and abandoned, and that's the best part about this garbage. Trying to address serious issues such as mental and emotional health through the medium of video games (in this case crap e-books) is misguided and can be harmful. While it's plausible to suggest the intention was noble, this can do more harm than good. The "developer" here is not a professional in areas of mental health and social problems, and when they use e=books to pretend they are, this is not …

This game is so ass I genuinely can't understand how it could possibly get 95% overwhelmingly positive rewievs (maybe cuz they're made by ppl who played 1.3 hours, eh?). There's nothing to the game's gameplay, In my 3 hours of playthrough (which is a lot for a visual novel) I had encountered exactly 1(!) option in dialogue. SON?! It's supposed to be a GAME and games have GAMEPLAY. I can't even tell a flicking ♥♥♥♥♥ to shuffle off, nor I can choose Lena's route cuz the developer can't handle more than 5 routes. AND THE 4chan made a better VN! It's a disgrace to the whole genre, hope author has a nice glow up and maybe stops focusing on millenial writing. Oh and the mentall handicaps are represented in such a bad way, that I genuinely couldn't even call them retarded irl. They're just... normal, yk. AND THAT'S AN EVIDENCE THAT THIS "GAME" CAN'T ACHIEVE IT'S MAIN PURPOSE FOR ♥♥♥♥. You better off playing Katawa Shoujo, if you wish for mentally ill gals. Or goon to Utsu Shoujo. Anything but ts

didnt read it, guessed all the dialogue options. katja best girl

Not gonna lie im here for the achievements. Which do work. The story seems well written and the art style and the music are pretty good! Recommended for people into high school/college visual novels.

It's a really nice VN, sadly only Act 1 for now. This is my second VN after Katawa shoujo and I am enjoying it.
