Engaging Visual Novel with Complex Characters
Star Crossed is a captivating visual novel set in a world rife with corruption and emotional turmoil. Players are introduced to Clara, a barmaid with a hidden identity, and Laila, a dedicated policewoman. As their stories intertwine, the game explores themes of love, betrayal, and moral conflict. The narrative unfolds mostly linearly, allowing players to make meaningful choices that influence the story, culminating in two distinct endings, which adds to the replayability and depth of the experience.
This adventure game, developed for Yuri Game Jam 2023, invites players to navigate the challenges of duty versus desire. With a mix of flavour choices and one significant story-altering decision, players are encouraged to reflect on the consequences of their actions. However, it is important to note that the game contains content warnings for sensitive themes such as dictatorship, violence, and emotional abuse, making it suitable for a mature audience.
