arcane cache
The game is set in an shadowy post-war country reigned with an iron hand by a small elite – the protagonist, once member of a sect, is invited by an old, rather unpleasant acquaintance, and lured in by the promise of meeting the never fully overcome love interest of their youth.

neither does the dynamic story make the game and its message arbitrary at all, as this piece doesn't ask "What would you do?" but rather, in a most honest way, "What does matter?", nor do the melancholic and dark tones that are present ever shift into nihilism
[...]
The game has a rather large scope, and you should expect to play around an hour for a single play-through. The writing is superb, and utilizes the hypertext technique in an all natural, coherent way. Solitary Stars is clearly an attempt to use video games as a medium for serious narrative art [...] and it's very successful at doing so.
