A distant echo of a forgotten melody. A flickering star in the night sky. The weight of an unanswered question...

Solo developer, Claire Morwood, has meticulously crafted nearly every aspect of Asterism, from folding origami avatars & moulding clay lighthouses to writing & voicing the soundtrack. A culmination of years of exploration and experimentation, Asterism is a labour of love and passion that sits at the intersection of music, art, and digital storytelling.

“Asterism was inspired by the feeling of sitting on the window seat of a bus, music echoing in your ears, as you glimpse momentary details amidst the blur of passing lights.”

Claire is a self-taught game designer, artist, programmer, & co-creator of the BAFTA-nominated game Before I Forget (3-Fold Games). She is passionate about empowering others through workshops on game development, particularly in creating personal games using small tools like Bitsy.

Asterism is supported by Creative Scotland.
