Is development still active on this game? It's been a while since I've seen any news about it. It'd be a shame if there was no more, I really like it. It has a fantastic sense of atmosphere and I love the characters to bits and pieces.
Hi! We're definitely still aiming to finish working on the game but it will most likely take a long time as we've both been occupied with other things. Though I do try to work on making shorter games set in the same universe in the meantime. :D Hearing that means a lot though and hopefully we can share something soon! Thank you so much!
Hi! I absolutely love the game so far but I seem to be stuck on the portion where Flavian is piecing together the paper I cannot seem to for the life of me to get the last piece in place, I was wondering what to do in a situation like this as the storytelling and art absolutely gorgeous!
hiiii love the game so far!!!! but im kinda stuck at some part when im in elior's room andd idk how to get out!!! ive also tried checking the rest of the room but i cant go upstairs for some reason it doesnt let me jump, can someone please tell me what im supposed to do
i really love this game, the lore (or what little of it that has been revealed, HAHA), the character designs, the premise of the story, the art and overall design of the game, everything!! i find the entire game to be beautiful, and really engaging!!
i had so much fun playing chapter one, and i hope to soon be able to play the rest once available (with no intentions of rushing, i'll wait however long it takes for development to finish!!) though the controls took me a second to figure out (i chose to not read the control guide, for some reason) after i did, i was fully able to play and navigate through the game, it wasn't too complicated at all, which i really liked.
i found the power mechanic of piecing together ripped pages really interesting, and overall had a great time playing. sorry if this is lengthy, i've been binging free itch games and this was my favorite thus far.
one bug i had was that when i loaded my save, which was at a choice area, once i attempted to continue the dialogue to rechoose a different choice, the option wouldn't load and i had to start again. this was fine, as i wasn't too far, but just something to note!!
andddd i'm done! i enjoyed the game immensely, lots of love, thank you for making it so beautifully!!
This game is really nice! The music is nice and the art is enchanting! The only thing that bothers me is the f key not working sometimes as I don't have a mouse but overall a fantastic start! Can't wait to see more! C:
Hi the only 2 problems i had while playing were that sometimes the F key would not register and that the game doesn't save when you finish. So if i just press continue after finishing it will get me back to my last save.
This was such a good game! The art style is so cute and I love the characters so far. I could genuinely play a game like this for hours.
There are some glitches here and there, but nothing too bad. Towards the beginning, I tried to walk back the way I came because the game told me to, but an invisible wall blocked the way. I ended up accidently phasing through another wall above and dropping down on the otherside of the invisible wall. Other than that, there were also times where the F key wouldn't skip through dialogue and I had to click my way through.
Honestly, bugs aside, it's still one of the better games I've played in such a long time. Love the story, love the art style, and I love the mystery a whole lot! Not the mention, the music was really nice. Awesome game - can't wait for more.
This game is really great! Both the characters and the background music are very healing and warm! And the interactions between Elior and Flavien are so cute!!!!!! It is an honor to play such a well made game! I wonder if you have any intention to release other language versions (like Chinese version or Japanese version) so that more people can enjoy such a wonderful game! Looking forward to the chapter 2!
I really love the art style! it is supper pretty! I love the story so far and I want to know what happens next. Elior and Flavien interaction are supper funny and cute, Flavien calling Elior cute for sniffing book is my favorite one.
I love everything related to celestial bodies and so I fell for this game so hard and really fast the moment I tried it out! Flavien and Elior are both amazing, I love the design for both and can't wait to find out more about the story! I'm so curious about what happened in general. I want to gush about it and write theories but I don't want to spoil anyone who still wants to give it a try, whoops. Oh and the art, gorgeous too. Everything's gorgeous. Bugs I encountered were already commented around, so nothing new to add!
I'll send support as soon as I can, because I'd love to see this flourish and finished. Thanks for coming up with such a pretty concept, please keep up the good work! Have a good one!🧡
Would love to continue this game! I'm still quite early but the E button isn't working for some reason? It worked for a few minutes and then shortly stopped. I've tried saving and refreshing, but that hasn't worked unfortunately. Any suggestions?
Hi! Thank you so much for letting us know! We'll look into this. We're still unsure of when our next update will be, but we'll definitely aim to address all the bugs by then!
Beautiful, wonderful game. Not only is the world building phenomenal, but the story is immersive and the character design is creative and just visually appealing. I love everything about this game.
Although, I will say, I encountered a glitch a few times where I would get stuck if I clicked on a certain area. It would just loop the same phrase over and over again.
Other than that, I absolutely adored playing this game!
I liked this game! The art style was very nice to look at, and the animation in the introduction blew me away. I only wish some of the game mechanics themselves were more developed, though the issues are understandable given this is only a demo. Here are some of the problems I experienced:
-The background seems to waver a bit at times. It is almost like a glitching TV, with stripes that move down the screen horizontally. It wasn't too annoying, but I can see how this has the potential to cause nausea in players because of the frequent motion.
-The question marks when interacting with something had a bad tendency to phase out in the later half of the game. It took me walking past an object 4-5 times for it to finally register and appear so I could interact with things. I personally was able to find everything and finish chapter 1, but it is easy to see players missing a question mark because it disappears and being unable to complete the game.
I also noticed a few capitalization errors that could easily be fixed with a quick lookover of the story.
Overall, a game with beautiful art and an intriguing story that I am excited to see expanded upon. Well done, and best of luck in your future game endeavors! :)
Thank you so much for letting us know! We'll take a look at those and aim to have them fixed by the next update! It makes us so happy to hear, thank you again! <33
The game itself is very pleasant. Beautiful scenery and lovley characters I will definitely play another chapters as well but I have some things to add to be fair. First of all me and my friend expirienced a bug that wasn't mentioned in comments. It was when we gone to the staircase to mother study, and find themselves stuck in that room not able to go back as texst with elinor appeared. it was something like "I need to go check the door" it was when we were about to first meet Flavein. We were forced to play from beginning as we didin't save our progress at this point (I know it was dumb). Another thing is just a recommendation. Maybe in future you can add something like a "to do list" in one of corners, when you play in small sesions it may confuse. (you know what to do next if you don't remember) After all it was a game that will be in our minds for a long time, and we will wait for another chapters!
Hi! Thank you so much for letting me know, I'll take a look at those! And for sure, the to-do list will be included in the next update :) Thank you so much for letting us know, it means a lot! <3
my friend told me to play this and it's really good! i love the art, the music and the story is very interesting. one problem i do have is that whenever i press f or space, sometimes it wouldn't let me unless i exit for a while before coming back D: other than that, great work! keep it up :]
There sure are a bunch of areas where you can softlock yourself into progressing the game due to map issues. I got stuck in an infinite loop of dialogue two different times. 1) telling me to put books away 2) checking the door downstairs even when I'm at the lowest area of the map. I had to slog through several unskippable prologue dialogue just so I can get back. I had to make it a habit to constantly save but my god, it was stressful. This game is far from complete.
the visuals are seriously so gorgeous, and the character designs too! really am looking forward to the next chapter, really well done. so so so excited!!! <3
I absolutely loved the first chapter!! I love the entire aesthetic and the characters are so loveable!! I'm looking forward to chapter 2 :D Thank you for this beautiful game
this game is so wonderful!! it's absolutely beautiful, the characters are so lovable, the story is intriguing, and there's a nonbinary character? i love it so much!! i'm so excited for chapter 2 :D
if you ever plan to update the UI, i have a few suggestions. it's not too troublesome to press the F key to read all the text, but pressing Enter is much more typical. it would be nice to have an auto button, for text. and of course, it'd be convenient if there were separate volume settings for each different type of audio. and the last thing—i'm not sure why this is—the History panel kept acting weird for me. it wouldn't automatically show the most recent dialogue, and on top of that, it wouldn't scroll very well. it was far too slow. i'm not sure what's up with that
even then, those are pretty minor issues. again, i adore this game and (as an artist) i absolutely love the art. it is absolutely gorgeous. i look forward to playing chapter 2 and learning more about Elior and Flavien :)
Absolutely fascinating characters, story, and world - I’m hooked! :D
It would be cool if players had the option to adjust the sound for the text separately from the music and maybe had some keybind options (I’m so used to pressing enter to advance text!) but those are teeny tiny complaints about a great experience.
I really loved chapter 1! The mystery and the dynamic of the two. The art is exceptional and such a treat to look at while playing. Super excited for the coming chapters! <3
The atmosphere and art made getting lost such a blessing. I loved running around as Flavien and watching him sparkle and light up candles. It made me unreasonably happy.
Thank you for releasing such a beautiful game. So much work was put into this first chapter and every Twitter updates makes me more excited <3
So, enjoyed the first chapter a lot! Just in case someone is a linux user, like me, this game starts without any issue on Wine, so everyone will be able to enjoy it.
You can try the snippet that worked for me which was to do a chmod.
To fix this, you have to use Terminal to navigate your way into the file and unlock the permission settings that were changed due what we believe is from the compression.
I honestly can't remember where I found this code and when I remember I'll be sure to credit them, but with terminal you need to navigate to the download folder (or wherever you put your app) and add the following:
cd <PATH_TO_YOUR_APP>/<APP_NAME>.app/Contents/MacOS/
Hey there! Thanks for giving the link to the forum. It's the chmod that helped me run it. It was a permission issue, I suppose.

Did you have an issue where the app wasn't recognised? I keep getting the message ' zsh: no such file or directory: TheLastStar_V1.0 '. If you have had that issue did you find a way to get around it?

me too. Like I've been waiting for the full release since 2022!
Hi! We're definitely still aiming to finish working on the game but it will most likely take a long time as we've both been occupied with other things. Though I do try to work on making shorter games set in the same universe in the meantime. :D Hearing that means a lot though and hopefully we can share something soon! Thank you so much!
I understand! Thank you for the response, and thank you for your hard work! ❤

hiiii love the game so far!!!! but im kinda stuck at some part when im in elior's room andd idk how to get out!!! ive also tried checking the rest of the room but i cant go upstairs for some reason it doesnt let me jump, can someone please tell me what im supposed to do
i've had the same problem, i just went the other route
This game is amazing! I'm still waiting for the second chapter! Everything about this is perfect.
i really love this game, the lore (or what little of it that has been revealed, HAHA), the character designs, the premise of the story, the art and overall design of the game, everything!! i find the entire game to be beautiful, and really engaging!!

I'm kind of stuck can someone help? Star guy says he wants a new cup not sure where to get that.
Hi! You can find it in the cupboard on the leftmost side of the kitchen. Hope it helps!
This game is really nice! The music is nice and the art is enchanting! The only thing that bothers me is the f key not working sometimes as I don't have a mouse but overall a fantastic start! Can't wait to see more! C:
wish this was on web it looks so damn good
Great game! But when Flavien jump to the edge of a floor he seldom jumps very high?Don't certainly if is a bug.
Also wonder if you have any intention to release other language versions. I may can help if Chinese version is needed.
I love it! Looking forward to the continuation~!
Hi the only 2 problems i had while playing were that sometimes the F key would not register and that the game doesn't save when you finish. So if i just press continue after finishing it will get me back to my last save.
I PERFECTLY SAVED EXACTLY BEFORE THE END

Hello hello! I downloaded the file for Mac but I can't seem to open it :(
Any help?
Hello! The info from this forum might help! This might also help as well:
1. Open Terminal
2. cd to the *.app folder
3. xattr -rc *.app
4. Double-click, it opens
Let me know if you continue to have issues!

Hmmmm no, I didn't have that problem.
How about deleting the app then redownload it?
When you redownload it, try to unpack the app then copy it to the Applications folder.
After that open a terminal where you will chdir to the Applications folder then do the chmod.
At least that's what worked on me.
If it helps, I'm using Mac OS Monterey.
