In Stars and Time - Mental Illness, It Can Happen To You!

The following is a repost of an essay I wrote in special interest induced delirium one night while hanging at the RP bar run by one of my girlfriends in FFXIV. It was originally posted to cohost, but with the website shutting down, I wanted to be sure it was preserved.

Anyone who's been following me for a bit may have noticed that around the end of December 2023/start of January 2024, I became absolutely obsessed with an indie game called In Stars and Time. I wanted to spend a little time talking about why.

Before that, if you haven't played the game yet, I urge you to at least give it a try. There's a demo available, and you can purchase it on Steam, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.

Spoilers ahead, as well as content warnings for discussion of mental illness, trauma, self-harm, and other similar warnings. Any warnings will generally match those for In Stars and Time itself, which has a convenient Content Warning page (the website is a tad glitchy and may redirect you to the pre-release CW page - just click the "content warnings" link at the top of the page if that happens!)
