A world worth saving. A prophecy worth questioning.

The Still Star is a real-time action RPG set in a hand-crafted pixel world, rendered with layered depth and living light.

Every morning, the village of Evergreen gathers to give thanks to the Still Star. You are the one soul it never chose.

When shades rise and the grass turns black, you'll leave home, cross forests, sunken cities, and burning deserts, and face the ancient Arch Demons standing between the world and the truth.

Features

• Real-time combat built around reading tells, dodging, and timing
• Boss fights against towering Arch Demons
• Tools that open new paths and puzzles
• Cozy village life over a slow, creeping cosmic horror
• Pixel art staged in 3D light, with god rays, reflections, and depth

In active development. About 4.5 hours playable now, with roughly 15 planned. Follow the game to get devlog updates, and leave feedback in the comments. It genuinely shapes the game.

For fans of Octopath Traveler, classic Zelda, and Lovecraftian mystery.
