About This Game
The Story
Where The Stars Brought Us is a visual novel game about 17-year-old Ryo Yung, who is from Seoul, South Korea. He and his family — mother, father, and sister — take what was meant to be a week-long trip to Kodachi, Japan. This begins Ryo's many adventures.
Though he does not embark on these adventures alone: Mae, a non-human girl with healing powers whom he met by chance in the Narusawa Ice Caves, joins him on his journey. This very journey begins with Ryo searching for the aforementioned ice caves, where he meets Mae along with another odd being.
In that time, Ryo's sister, Nam, has gone missing. Mae uses this opportunity to strike up a deal: she will help Ryo find Nam, if Ryo helps her in return. Ryo agrees, and the events of the game are set in motion.
During his story, Ryo will learn that you can get everything you want in life — but not without consequences. Players can expect a game with parallels to humanity's intrinsic complexities.
