No rhythm? No problem

Reviews

“The playful surrealness of its lighthearted musical adventure thus gives way to nightmarish logic and eventually outright horror.”

“Starstruck is an interesting game that defies understanding. The beginning of the game makes you think it's a mind-bending, suspenseful, time-traveling sci-fi story. But only after playing through the whole game will you realize that Starstruck is a philosophical work that uses cross-dimensional rhetoric to explain the importance of maintaining your true identity, both in art and life.”
