Theme: Not-games or real time
This is a vaguely educational not-game about exploring the night sky. Join The Couple as they gaze at the heavens, picking out constellations.
I spent literally hours mapping a real section of the Northern sky for the stars you see here - this is a replication of stars as of how they can be seen at my location right now, so big thanks to this lovely site: http://neave.com/planetarium/.
It's only short. Protip: you have to click exactly on a star to select it. It is not designed to challenge, just to be experienced. Happy star-hunting!
The game was made in Flixel with Gimp arting and FL Studio/Kontakt audio.

Never mind. One of the other entries clobbered my sound output somehow. Yours is fine.
Subtitles are great! A great learning tool. Music fits nicely.
Have you read Gödel Escher Bach? The dialog reminds me a great deal of a series of dialogs in that book. Might just be a coincidence.. But anywho, I very much enjoyed your game!
@Ditto: I haven't actually! Coincidence I'd say but I did write with a deliberate style that is probably derivative of a number of sources.
Thanks for the nice comments :)
relaxing and beautiful, i enjoyed the music and stared at the stars, enjoyed it and relaxed me, then i realized I could click on things!
Very atmospheric AND educational ... now I want to do something like that, too. :-) Love the story telling aspect!

Cute concept. I went around and found all the constellations, but got no audio. Maybe there's a bug still floating around?
