Developer Adrienne Bazir and publisher Armor Games Studios announced that the time-loop RPG In Stars and Time is finally out. The game is available for the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.

In Stars and Time follows the story of Siffrin and their adventurer friends. They're a found family that's bound together by fate working together to end the tyrannical reign of an evil king. However, just as victory is just within their grasp a tragedy occurs. The clock resets and its seems they have to do it all over again.

Making things worse is that it appears only Siffrin is the one who notices the loop. As Siffrin goes through each loop, it starts to wear away at his cheerful veneer. He keeps going though in the hopes of finally ending this temporal tragedy.

As a time-looping RPG adventure, In Stars and Time offers a unique gameplay. With each loop, Siffrin gets a new perspective on the world around them. This opens up new solutions to puzzles and letting them make better choices. There are a lot of things to do like equipping memories as armor and praying to the Change God to improve the capabilities of the team with each loop.

Here are some key features of the game:

  • Experience strategic turn-based RPG combat encounters and save the world through the power of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
  • Ignore the limits of time and space to fix past mistakes by repeating the same two days over and over again.
  • Equip the memories you have of your friends to make your party stronger in combat.
  • Watch the fate of this world unfold as you escape the twists and turns of this endless loop.
  • Eat samossas with your friends.
  • Get heckled by a cheeky ethereal being of infinite starlight.
  • Pray to a god for good luck in your travels.

Adrienne Bazir, also known as insertdisc5, is a Toronto-based game developer, cartoonist, and 2D animator. In Stars and Time is their second project. The first one was START AGAIN: a prologue, which ended becoming as the initial prototype of In Stars and Time.
