About this game
Hardware Requirements
What would you do if you were forced to relive your failures over and over again?
In Stars and Time tells the story of Siffrin and their adventurer friends—a found family bound together by fate in order to end the tyrannical reign of an evil king. But as victory is just within the party’s grasp, a tragedy occurs, the clock resets, and they have to do it all again.
As Siffrin’s the only one who notices this loop, each new start wears away at his cheerful veneer, yet he keeps going in hopes he can end this temporal tragedy once and for all.
In Stars and Time is a time-looping RPG adventure. With each loop, Siffrin gains a new perspective on the world around them, opening up new solutions to puzzles and allowing them to make better choices in conversation. Equip memories as armor, pray to the Change God to improve your team’s capabilities each loop, and challenge deadly foes to Rock, Paper, Scissors as Siffrin seeks the truth.
✦ Our Adventurers
- Siffrin (he/they): Stressed, depressed, and under duress. (Don’t worry about it. They’re doing fine.) The punmaster protagonist of our neverending tale.

- Isabeau (he/him): Defender with a heart of gold. Cares dearly for his people and his friends.
- Odile (she/her): The mature and nonsensical researcher studying…something. (No, she will not tell you what it is.)
- Bonnie (they/them): Wait a minute, who brought this kid along???

If any of this interests you, you might also want to play the game’s initial prototype, START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN: A Prologue. While you don’t need to play it to understand In Stars and Time, it’s fun to see the game’s roots.
In Stars and Time contains infrequent scenes and references to subject matter that may be sensitive to some individuals. These include references to trauma, death, violence, self harm, unreality, children in peril. While these are a part of the deeper emotional narrative and in most cases are infrequent or entirely optional, players should be mindful of their own comfort level.
