“Written as a prologue to a larger game, this piece concerns a boy who lives a life of drudgery in a magical underground city until he takes on a quest to save it from destruction.”
“The story is great, the characters are well-defined.”
“Stargazer is a superb RPG with a fantastic story and music, definitely worth it.”
“The story is somewhere between naive and cheesy; the dialogues jump between 'dumb' and witty.”
“This + the fetch quests make the game become more of a chore, and there is little to no actual story between all of that walking around.”
“The dialogue doesn't really focus on that a lot; rather, it focuses more on the quests, which doesn't really mention that story too much.”
