Description from Steam STEAM

What would you do if you were forced to relive your failures over and over again? In Stars and Time tells the story of Siffrin and their adventurer friends—a found family bound together by fate in order to end the tyrannical reign of an evil king. But as victory is just within the party’s grasp, a tragedy occurs, the clock resets, and they have to do it all again . As Siffrin’s the only one who notices this loop, each new start wears away at his cheerful veneer, yet he keeps going in hopes he can end this temporal tragedy once and for all. In Stars and Time is a time-looping RPG adventure . With each loop, Siffrin gains a new perspective on the world around them, opening up new solutions to puzzles and allowing them to make better choices in conversation. Equip memories as armor, pray to the Change God to improve your team’s capabilities each loop, and challenge deadly foes to Rock, Paper, Scissors as Siffrin seeks the truth. ✦ Our Adventurers Siffrin (he/they): Stressed, depressed, and under duress. (Don’t worry about it. They’re doing fine.) The punmaster protagonist of our neverending tale. Mirabelle (she/her): A caring and nervous housemaiden mysteriously blessed by the god she so ardently follows. Isabeau (he/him): Defender with a heart of gold. Cares dearly for his people and his friends. Odile (she/her): The mature and nonsensical researcher studying…something. (No, she will not tell you what it is.) Bonnie (they/them): Wait a minute, who brought this kid along??? ✦ Features Save the world through the power of Rock, Paper, Scissors in strategic turn-based RPG combat encounters. Ignore the limits of time and space to fix your 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. You’re gonna need it. If any of this interests you, you might also want to play the game’s initial prototype, START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN: A Prologue . While you don’t need to play it to understand In Stars and Time, it’s fun to see the game’s roots!

Storyline IGDB

In Stars and Time tells the story of Siffrin and their adventurer friends—a found family bound together by fate in order to end the tyrannical reign of an evil king. But as victory is just within the party’s grasp, a tragedy occurs, the clock resets, and they have to do it all again.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

In Stars and Time is a role-playing game that is viewed from a top-down perspective. Players control the main character Siffrin as they attempt to lead the party through the castle and defeat the King. The party navigates the House of Change and its surrounding village, where the player can initiate combat with enemies or interact with items and characters. Combat takes place in a first-person perspective; the game uses an active-time battle system. Different characters have specialised types based on a rock paper scissors system, though they can also use attacks outside their speciality. Enemies also have these types, which are usually indicated via their hand gestures. When the party performs five consecutive attacks of a type, a "jackpot" move is performed. These special group attacks can heal party members and deal damage to all enemies. Throughout the game, the player can end up repeating the same actions multiple times, as Siffrin is stuck in a time loop. However, they can also utilise the loops to learn how to solve problems, for example repeating conversations until they choose the correct option or find a certain item. Loops are generally only terminated when Siffrin dies; this can either be during combat, or by finding items that kill Siffrin. After looping back in time, the player can skip ahead to different floors, at the cost of in-game currency. If the player encounters dialogue they have already seen, they can fast-forward through it.
