I don’t know if the developers truly mean what they say about this game being just a side project, but personally, I think it has enormous potential. Leaving Anna aside for a moment, the other female characters could easily be expanded into great side stories. I believe most players enjoy harem-oriented content, and the game could truly live up to its name as Starmaker Story by allowing the MC to recruit these heroines as company members—with Anna as the main focus, of course.
Right now, the market is flooded with too many visual novels—whether hand-drawn, comic-style, or 3D—and it’s easy to get tired of them. This game’s art style could definitely carve out a unique niche and even become a standout title, since there are very few truly enjoyable games in this category. From what I’ve seen and experienced, Starmaker Story might be the only one that’s compelling enough to make me replay it multiple times.
I’m really glad to have discovered Arvus Games’ work, and I hope they continue to grow and deliver even more amazing games to players in the future!
