Told By Starlight is a mythology-building and star-drawing tabletop game for multiple players.

It's 11 pages, with a gorgeous cover and cool evocative interior illustrations.

Mechanically, Starlight is pretty simple, but its structure is solid. You draw constellations on a shared map, tell stories using a deck of cards and also the audience for prompts, and you stop when everyone feels their mythology is complete.

Overall, I think this is maybe an amazing utility for building a cosmology for a fantasy game, but it also seems like a fun, pretty cozy game by itself. Friends who don't really like roleplaying games may still like this, and it's pretty child-friendly as well. Ideal gameplay conditions probably include mulled cider, cool weather, and a clear view of the sky.
