Sea of Stars is a retro pixel RPG, reminiscent of its predecessor The Messenger, and other classic games like Chrono Trigger. Players can interact with the charming, nostalgic world, littered with secrets, endearing interactions, and clever designs. The mechanics of the game let players climb, slide, and jump around the terrain, and the world is wonderfully expansive, allowing players to explore a variety of islands and encounter unique characters along the way.
