Starlight is a short, text-based suspense game set on an abandoned spaceship. As the ship's engineer, you will explore and uncover the mystery of the crew's disappearance. The total story is approximately 9000 words.

Mouse and touch input are supported, although a keyboard is recommended.

Screen reader support: Starlight has basic support for screen readers in the downloadable version (no support for web yet), which should have access to the full text rendered on the game's screen. You will need to disable images by going into options and toggling images off in order to hear headings, as those are rendered using special characters by default. You can do this by pressing 3, then 5, then 2 on the game's welcome screen or pressing escape, then 5, then 2 from any of the game's screens.

CRT shader and font size can be toggled in the graphics settings.

Art for the splash screen and engine room by @surajrenuka on Fiverr. The remainder of the art is a placeholder and was generated using AI. I have professional pixel art commissioned, and will be replacing it as areas of the game get completed.
