You know a story delivered hard the topic of its setting when I'm already planning to go to the planetarium of my city for first time very soon. I loved this visual novel so much, it's one of those special works where I really, really connected with the characters, tearing up in the emotional moments, smiling like an idiot during their everyday interactions, praying for their success no matter what problems might come along the way. This feeling of attachment to the cast, the enjoyment of the setting no matter how simple it might be, this is my biggest wish whenever I start a work, and A Sky Full of Stars delivered it like few others have done to me. I'm so glad I read it. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making this work a reality.

I've read over a dozen slice-of-life visual novels, and A Sky Full of Stars is undoubtedly my favorite. It does everything so well: characters, setting, and story. Few VNs had me fully engrossed in its world like ASFoS did. One of my favorite things about this VN, is how concise the writing is. Visual novels (especially in the slice-of-life genre) are often guilty of dragging on with endless amounts of filler, but thankfully, it doesn't happen here. On the contrary, it feels like every sentence and every line of dialogue is written with a purpose, especially in the common route. As a result, this is one of the most information-dense VNs I've read, with the story and characters having far greater depth than most other VNs, even the longer ones. It's great that the writers respect the readers' time. The characters are all likeable with a decent amount of depth. The protagonist and two main heroines are all given a backstory and their own motivation for their interest in astronomy. Even the side characters are well fleshed out. In addition, there's no overused shallow archetypes present. For once in a VN, the protagonist's male best friend is not a joke character, and even the useless-single-adult-woman character has a decent amount of depth. I thought a story about astronomy would be simple, but it was a lot more interesting and complex than I imagined. The story spans six years, starting from elementary school all the way till high school. At any given time, there's usually multiple events interacting and happening at the same time, and before I knew it, I was fully engrossed in the events. Even as somebody with no interest or prior knowledge in astronomy, I still found the cast's passion for astronomy rubbing off on me, and I felt like I was part of the astronomy club, sharing the same victories and setbacks. Compared to other slice-of-life VNs, this is easily one of the most serious in tone, with the least amount of comedy. It's also one of the most realistic and least "pandery". The enjoyment primarily comes from watching the cast bond over a shared interest, grow, work hard, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals. I find this much more preferable to the comedy-heavy VNs that rely on a series of one-off jokes. (Of course, your mileage may vary.) The music, while not the best, serves its purpose. The calm music, combined with the starry night sky background that's frequently shown, often make me forget I'm trapped on this tiny planet, and instead feel like I'm going on a journey through space with the cast. You may have heard about the controversy regarding MoeNovel's translation of If My Heart Had Wings. But don't worry- the translation of A Sky Full of Star sis actually decent. Everything makes sense, nothing is butchered in order to appeal to 12 year old French girls. The only real issue I've noticed is that the translation doesn't respect Japanese honorifics, and just uses people's first names. But that's not a big issue, and hardly detracts from the fact that the story is one of the best. This is an easy recommend for anyone interested in slice-of-life visual novels.

Join and follow our Steam curator group: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/vnislife] Visual Novel, JRPG, Anime VN is Life Find this review on : [url=https://www.sinicalanimenetwork.com/post/first-snow-review]Sinical Anime Network Story A Sky Full of Stars is a very long visual novel, with 4 different routes based on Astronomy and the people's Passion. The story begins as Akito, still a child receives a telescope from his father. Before he can learn to use it, Akitos finds himself in adoptive care and makes a habit of taking the telescope with him to school. Akito found himself not being able to let go of this last gift he received. Developing a need to watch the night sky, Akito attends a school where he meets Hikari, a happy-go-lucky tomboy feared by the other boys for her manners. At the same time, a new transfer student is present in the class. She wore sunglasses and a fancy jacket, which let her appear as someone watching down on the others in a funny way. Her name was revealed to be Saya. The reason behind her wearing sunglasses has its own reasons. One day, as his secret is revealed he keeps carrying the telescope with him to school, and his classmates kept stealing his belongings and hiding them somewhere on the school grounds. The same did happen with the telescope which did get Akito really mad. On the other hand, interest in Hikari grows in seeing and using it. The twist is though, that Akito never learned how to use it and felt ashamed not being able to respond to her. Until Hikari helped him to find out how to set it up. Starting here, we start on a journey with a very beautiful story centered around the theme of Astronomy, friendship, and romance. The main goal of this journey is to find people and friends alike, with the very same passion, the stars, if not even the whole space itself and to find a younger generation in which this passion is shared and given further. From the very start of this novel, we are enraptured by the characters and immersed in the wonderfully drawn and presented world. We are sent to live through past and present events a few times, which helps to understand the feelings of each character, Some parts are narrated by the characters themselves with their thoughts. Friendship is also one of the indirect centerpieces of this story, showing that true friends can help you overcome every event you have to face. And also build a heartwarming romance. Character developments and routes The character development is very rich in diversity as we are accompanied from childhood and kindergarten to the high school prodigies and academy students and partially even to adult life. We have many different sprites presenting all kinds of emotions, some even in draft style with a good bit of comedy to it which is very enjoyable. We live in the stories of each character and we learn to love them just as much. Seeing them in different time frames helped improve their character traits and their development views which I did like especially a lot. We know the bond built between them. We live in the world they live in. We actively participate in their world. We couldn't ask for more. Each character follows their own route and events, which is a big plus i do really like seeing that each character has their own story. Art Style and World Presentation The world is beautifully presented with a lot of details, going from city streets to forests and mountains, and up to very beautiful starry night sky presentations, in which MoeNovel did go out of their way to present it to the most accurate possible thanks to images created using data from the Hipparcos Catalogue and the "Starry Winds MMD" planetarium engine software. More info of this engine can be found by [url=https://learnmmd.com/http:/learnmmd.com/mmd-starry-winds-effect/comment-page-1/?noamp=mobile]clicking here . The art style is close to being perfect, even with the sprite's different emotions, it is equal as you would await it in a mainstream anime. The art style has nothing to argue with and is more than enough for us to fall quickly immersed in the beautiful world. In addition, we have a complete gallery of every CG's viewed through the main menu which can be reviewed with all their different reactions which is very cool to have. We can also review specific scenes while selecting it in the gallery. Voices and Music This VN is fully voiced, with the exception of narration and the protagonist. The voices are, in my ears, a perfect fit for each of the characters and their personalities. What is worth mentioning is that the voice actors really went into themselves to enhance their voices to the utmost, which I really did love because it enhanced the affection we earned for each character. We have also some great music titles with the greatest likely to be the hit of the OST and EST which are both great songs. The other accompanying music during the VN is a mix of piano, drum, guitar, flute, and more instruments, and I can't name them all as some titles are very diversified. All the tracks can be listened to through the additional music gallery and also be bought on the Steam Store as in an album. Overall Thoughts A Sky Full of Stars is without a doubt one of the most beautiful stories available in a visual novel. A near-perfect Slice-of-life romance with some drama and a good bit of comedy which is really entertaining the read. The comedy makes the characters even more adorable and the stunning art makes it even more enjoyable. My personal favorite route is Saya's route which I found had the most funny interactions and story-building. I really love her as a character and her appearance, especially with her 2 different colored eyes which makes her just so adorable. I also really like the general art style and the efforts given in the story and its technical details and seemingly the exactitude of the star's location which is amazing as this visual novel can be used as a reference for the fans of Sky observation. Characterwise I don't find anything to complain about, we get narration from each of the characters during their route, and we have a lot of entertaining moments and story developments which lets the story not get boring despite its length. This Visual Novel may not be adapted for beginners as it is relatively detailed unless the reader is already experienced in the more technical words such as adult book readers, but it is definitely a must-read for every experienced reader.

"Why don't you come to the planetarium? The beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter what-" Oh wait. Wrong game. A Sky Full of Stars is a coming-of-age Visual Novel about three students and their love of tiny sky dots. Difficulty is NA, played using a mouse and Enter on the keyboard. Got through Hikari's route in around 15 hours taking my time. Played without having played 'If My Heart Had Wings". This version is AllAges and has been censored. Gameplay amounts to hitting Enter endlessly and saving as you go. This game has many, many save slots. There are a handful of choices throughout. Earlier ones designate which of 2 story routes you take and which girl you want, and later ones relate to 'getting the girl'. It doesn't readily tell you this, and I cheesed with a guide early on to end up with Hikari because who has time for that. If you hate guides, there is an option in the lower left corner to revert to earlier choices. I only played Hiraki's route, but I have a strong feeling that Hikari and Saya have the strongest ones. Art on this game is great. The places give a solid ambiance, and the characters look fab and full of emotion. Game has a puppy. Story was OK. Enjoyment really depends on how much you like stars. That said, all the characters are cute. And the story does not stray too far from its constellation obsession. You will learn more about telescopes than you intend to. Romance... I imagine it'd be better for Saya =P. I don't know, it was really hard to like Hikari during the romance part of her route. It's the most uncomfortable I've felt in a VN trying to date someone. But the drama is right there in your face. It's so full of feels that I couldn't just... Choose... another route. I'd need to recover first. Music is worth getting. Top tier. I love 98% of it. Except for 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' on repeat, which made me want to flood a town and displace all its occupants. Overall it's an average, solid, coming-of-age VN. The story stays faithful to the stars, there's some drama in there, there's some romance. It's very low key. Frown on the weird censoring. The romancing part was a little uncomfortable. I'll try and pick it up later to go through the other routes, but there's no real urge to.
