Overview

"星の欠片の物語。しかけ版" (Star Shard Story: Otherworld Edition) invites players into a unique cooperative puzzle experience set on a broken star.

You step into the role of an observer who can communicate with a lone girl stranded on this desolate celestial body. Deprived of its power, the star offers no escape, and the girl is isolated.
