Greetings to all!
When the Stars Aligned is a medieval fantasy interactive novel.
In this game, you take on the role of one of the chosen protectors of your kingdom’s royal bloodline.
When I create this game, my intention is not to lock your combat style into purely physical or purely arcane methods - although that can certainly be your choice, if you wish. Instead, your combat approach will evolve based on your stats, allowing your character to shift fluidly between martial skill and magical ability.
As the story unfolds, you will work to uncover the identity of a mysterious stranger who appears in recurring dreams, and investigate a series of unexplained deaths that threaten the realm, alongside a group of unlikely allies. Together, you must uncover the dark force behind these shadowy events.
Note: All allies are potential romantic interest.
I would greatly appreciate your help in identifying any bugs, narrative inconsistencies, or areas that could benefit from improvement. Constructive feedback and comments are always welcome. Thank you for playing!

Update 1: June 2025
I am still working on refining the relationship stat system, so your thoughts on how these connections develop would be especially helpful.For now, the update focuses on introducing the various characters and helping you shape your own, as well. Not all members of your investigation team have appeared yet. Their arrival will come in the next update.
