Overview

Prepare to unravel an extraordinary mystery. 

While Stellar Code is a mystery visual novel, it deviates from traditional formats—there’s no need to identify culprits or decode intricate tricks.

Instead, the mystery you must solve is a cosmic enigma rooted in the wonders of space and theoretical physics.

No Prior Knowledge Required

You don’t need a background in science to enjoy this story. The keys to solving the mystery will be revealed as you progress through the narrative. All you need to do is question the unknown alongside the characters and immerse yourself in the unfolding story.
