About

Vanishing Starlight is a horizontal action-adventure game similar to the Metroidvania. You will play the role of a prisoner who has lost his memory, wading into the sea of ​​stars, traversing rivers and mountains, embarking on a journey in search of memories, old friends and your own destiny.

Story

The starry sea stretches vast and desolate, like a celestial prison. Within the night sky forged by the iron laws of the cosmos, one tiny planet after another resembles a faint candlelight, solitary in its spin, flickering and fading.

A death row inmate, stripped of his memories, escapes the mortuary realm of “Gibetuary.” He journeys through bizarrely ecological nations like “Ignysium” and “Tidesong,” witnessing the arduous struggle for survival of various peoples. Along the way, he must not only seek out his scattered and lost companions but also reclaim everything that was taken from him.

Behind these many nations, the gazes and fingerprints of the principal gods faintly emerge. They seem capable of advancing the evolution of races with miraculous technology, yet they can also negate the value of a nation’s existence with absolute, merciless power at any moment. Are they incubators, overseers, or judges? Are they true gods who will surely answer prayers, or the mortal enemies of all who strive desperately for their people’s survival? When the death row inmate arrives at the entrance to a dim future, facing the deities who orchestrate destiny, will he still be able to voice his questions: Who am I? What is my crime? What is the purpose of my life, and what is the meaning of my death?
