- Genre: Adventure
- Time Played: 2-3 Hours
- Too Short/Long: Kinda drags for what it is, I feel like this could have been wrapped up in an hour, maybe 2 tops for 100%
- Pleased/Disappointed: I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, but I'm not ecstatic about it.
- Why I played: I really just played this one because I was interested in the others. Some of the newer Opus games come very recommended and this one can often be obtained very cheap. I felt like I needed to play this before moving on, regardless of whether they are related story wise.
- Recommend to others: Not really, the writing is cute, and it has it's moments, but it's not very engaging or "fun to play".
This is just a little pc style "adventure game" where you click around to find things to read, that give you clues on where to find stars through a telescope. There are literally thousands of clickable stars, but most of the important ones are just slightly bigger than others. There is even a mechanic that let's you see more hidden stars that are behind others that are too close/bright or other various celestial phenomena. I feel like they missed an opportunity to experiment with that further and make it more of a puzzle game, rather than just a random search, waiting until I get the automatic finding the thing I'm looking for mechanic. I know it's more about telling it's little story, but it was just so close to being a little bit more of an intriguing game.
I still overall enjoyed it, like, I don't regret playing it, and knowing this is the least interesting of the OPUS works, I am still pretty interesting in eventually checking out the other ones.
