“The world you're standing on is changing soon & it might not be for the best. A haunting story w/ 5 parallel endings that lets you interact w/ the denizens of a dying world at your own behest.”

Reviews

“In a medium whose interpretation of “cosmic horror” tends to mean a ping-ponging sanity meter while you gun down monsters with tentacles, Stars Die is one of the most coherent translations of the genre for relying on eerie shapes, ideological arguments, and unfathomable scale”
Fanbyte

“What fascinated me the most about its compact, but surprisingly clever and well-written branching narrative was that it's a rare kind of good video game interpretation of cosmic horror, not by shooting tentacle monsters with Tommy guns, but by exposing the player to philosophical and ideological questions and problems with some really mind-bending mental twists”

About This Game

A giant cathedral of flesh has appeared in the middle of the ocean on a dying world. A small group of scientists are secretly investigating it when a mysterious woman appears, facing an impossible task.

FEATURES

  • You can explore the environments freely at your own pace, but remember, time is running out.

  • Dark industrial soundtrack by composer Connor ORT Linning.
