In Stars and Time is a vibrant and charming indie game that has followed the somewhat recent trend of time-loop shenanigans. The world and many of its characters are frozen in time, brought upon by spellcraft from the evil King who rules all. However, our hero Sifrin (Frin for short) is looping whenever they die.

While it doesn't persist throughout the entire playthrough, there's an unmistakable uniqueness to In Stars and Time. Its parts may be stronger than it ends up as a whole, but there's humor and heart pouring from its cast. While the back half features some interesting twists, with them come more repetition and occasional frustration with how character and area progression occurs. Even though it's a little too verbose, the overall experience of In Stars and Time is a worthwhile one, especially for fans of Undertale and other offbeat RPGs.
A decent plot mired in game-breaking bugs and a tedious, repetitive time-loop, In Stars And Time is more frustrating than it is fun.
