Overview

"Some stories are best told to none," she whispered. Long ago, the stars vanished from the sky. Then, a man returned them, a feat few believed and fewer still remembered. This is a tale of romance and tragedy, a story that the stars themselves bear witness to, yet it remains unwritten in books and archives, existing only in the hearts of those who lived through it.

For Whom the Stars Shine is a short, kinetic visual novel developed by New Dialog and cowritten by Pony with a Pen. It offers a linear narrative without player choices or branching paths, focusing entirely on delivering its poignant story.
