The moment I loaded up In Stars and Time and was greeted by its quirky characters, charming Nintendo Entertainment System-esque retro soundtrack, and gorgeous black and white visuals, I had a feeling it was going to be something extremely special. Developed by Adrienne Bazir (insertdisc5), this turn-based role-playing game delicately balances themes of found family, trauma, love, and more, in an emotional story. The whole thing is told through the eyes of Siffrin - a mysterious adventurer who finds themselves stuck in a seemingly endless time loop while trying to save the land of Vaugarde from being frozen in time.
