What Kind of Game You'll Be Working On
Second Star is a first person adventure role playing game set in a sci-fi universe 200 years in the future. Our audience are players who enjoy sci-fi games with a focus on narrative and character dynamics but prefer a more exploratory, “adventure-game” approach over combat.
Second Star also features a cast of fully voiced, diverse characters the player can pursue deep relationships with, and a unique, futuristic aesthetic both in visuals and audio.
There is a free demo available on the Steam page to try out the first chapter of the game - we encourage interested programmers to give it a try to get a feel for what kind of game it is.
We plan to release Second Star on PC on most major digital stores, with consoles to follow.
