The story of the game is primarily Christmas-themed and serves as a light backdrop to the gameplay, which focuses more on puzzles and side quests. While it may reference characters and events from a previous game, it remains accessible to new players and is described as simple yet enjoyable, filled with humor and moral lessons about perseverance. Overall, the narrative adds a pleasant layer to the experience without overshadowing the core puzzle mechanics.
- “The story is simple, yet it is full of jokes and references to a previous game of the developer.”
- “I think it's a game made for moments when you want to relax, but it also gave me a quite enjoyable and uncommon story while feeding me with some challenging moments.”
- “The story is still a nice addition to it though.”
- “Note that despite the game name being 'Stargazer', the game doesn't have any relation to the story at all except the fact that the main character is one of the characters in the game.”
- “However, I do believe that this game is a sequel to another Christmas-themed game since the story started as if the bad guy is doing the bad things again and some characters are not introduced at all; it's as if they have been introduced in the previous game, which is certainly not 'Stargazer'.”
- “The story is mostly related to Christmas, so you won't have to worry if you don't play 'Stargazer' before.”
