Characters:
| Estelle Alcyone Stellaris | The Princess of the Kingdom of Stellaris. She was born with the blessing of the Goddess of Stars, allowing her to see future events through star reading or precognitive dreams. Aside from her duties as princess, she also has to lead the prayer in the Temple of Stars as the High Priestess. She is a polite young girl with a sense of duty. However, she likes to prank people too sometimes. Many people think she is hard to read, maybe due to her power, or maybe due to the questionable things she did from time to time. Always call people by their middle names (their blessed name). She has two personal knights: Edward Kratos Chertan and Albert Ceyx Nighthawk. Before she met them, she had a dream in which her knight killed her in a rebellion after the rising dissatisfaction with her father's rule as well as a group of people who wanted to adopt new technologies instead of depending on stars like they always did. Estelle actually agreed with this thinking, but with her father dismissing the idea, afraid that the royal family's power would weaken, there is nothing she can do. |
| Albert Ceyx Nighthawk | The third son of Marquess Nighthawk, the leader of the rebels. Quiet and obedient towards his father, as if he didn't have a mind of his own. He was ordered to get close to Estelle by his father, but only became Estelle's knight after being personally chosen by her. A rigid and strict person due to his father's teaching. Even though he is part of the rebels, he doesn't hate the royal family or Estelle. In fact, after spending time with Estelle and seeing her working hard for the kingdom, he starts to question his father's order and wishes to spare Estelle's life even if his father's plan comes into action. |

Short, simple, and sweet! Loved the way you used the UI and your art is pretty as always! The story makes me wonder if Estelle and Albert are from a world in one of your existing games...
Thank you for playing!!!
No, they are from different universe. Each games, other than TWS series, has different universe. Since I'm the writer, there may have some similarities, though.
OH MY GOSH I AM CRYING CAUSE THIS IS SO GOOD AND I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE ESTELLE AND THE WAY SHE"D DIE FOR HER KINGDOM AND I LOVE THEIR INTERACTIONS AND THE MELANCHOLY I FELL AND THE MUSIC AND THIS IS PERFECTION AND I AM CRYING AND I LOVE THIS
THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!! GLAD YOU LIKE THE GAME!!
now that was something. it was a short story, so how could it convey feeling so well..? I really enjoyed playing it, all aspects had been obviously well thought and everything came together : gorgeous art, fitting background & background music, the menu pages strikingly cool and beautiful, the amazing dialogues, the feelings of the characters... that was really a short story, but you managed to create a sense of longing and sadness for those 2 characters bound to their fates under the stars.
also, I meant to ask, but do you think you'll publish some additional content in any form ? I feel like this universe could be explored so much, same for those characters who really felt anything but plain and boring.
thanx for this game
Thank you for playing!
And no, there won't be any additional content.
