Well, I know it's because of my phone, but there's an error where I can't enter or press anything because as soon as I enter, it takes me out of the novel
In short: I enter the novel, I press the English button and then without pressing anything it takes me out of nowhere. Also, when I wanted to install the APK, I got a message that it was for an older version of android
Very cool and at some moments sad furry VN. This is the story of three friends who have to go through the trials of their friendship, their personal life and overcome themselves to stay together and overcome all the difficulties of their teenage life. This is the first good Russian VN I played...
Here's the thing. I'll open with the worst part of this game.
The translation. By god, the translation from Russian to English was done so poorly. Get ready to be confused for things like calling the protagonist 'plastic' to mean they're 'flexible' because of a direct translation.
But, on the other hand, the translation really doesn't get in the way of enjoying the story, funnily enough. Usually, I'm the first one to bow out of a poorly-translated story--it's happened, for example, with danmei books--but here, the art, the music, and most importantly, the characters themselves, kept me more than hooked by themselves.
Let us begin with the art. Oh my god. Impeccable. Every single asset in this VN look like blood, sweat, and tears went into lovingly hand-crafting it. It makes even just looking at any given scene a pleasing experience. And the CGs, when they come, are just gorgeous.
Next, the music. For some reason, the different songs are set at different default volumes, so you might have to adjust the volume throughout the VN, but every one of the songs was pleasant to listen to, they never got annoying despite there (as far as I know) not being a moment of reprieve. And of course, they added so much to the important moments.
Finally, the characters. This is really where the writing shines, which only makes the shoddy translation all the more tragic--the writers really knew what they were doing, and the main cast of three had my heart locked down for them through the entire story. The side characters varied in how much I liked them, but that was never a problem, with the protagonist always viewing everything through an interesting lens.
Oh yes, the protagonist is so severely autistic he can barely function. I see pieces of myself in him, it's endearing to me. If you aren't autistic and find his behaviour rude, I think it'll still be interesting, because the VN takes place entirely from his unreliable perspective, so it's fascinating to see what the narrator puts forward, whilst trying to discern what he's missing between the lines.
All in all, a fabulous game, which should be read despite the translation, as the core of it is what matters.
And if you can read Russian, oh my god, you have no excuse, just go read this VN now
I would love for it to have a Spanish translation. In fact, many people in Latin America belonging to the Furry community and lovers of visual novels would love your work.
Ps: I only know how to read English and understand what they say, but I'm terrible at writing it XD
10/10, Greatest game I've ever played. The storyline, the art style, simply fascinating. I didn't expect the ending at all. The story really makes you dive and be one with the game's universe.
Well... A bad ending... Actually, I didn't expect to get a "Good" one. The fact is that I go through the novels two or three times, and I always play "myself" the first time. I choose the options the way I would do in life... And it's not ironic that I always ended up alone...
Thinking about it, I realized that yes, I am lonely in life and in the novels I will always be alone too.
As for the novel itself, I liked it.
Plot: 8.5/10 (Sometimes there were not very logical or slightly boring moments, for example, the dreams of the main character)
Characters: 9/10 (I easily associated myself with the main character, the characters are more or less alive. It's not boring to keep track of them, but sometimes it's a pure cringe)
P.S 1: I just watched it, I didn't just get a "bad" ending... I GOT THE WORST ONE! God, that sounds pathetic...
Or, you could throw away that emo attitude, find the walkthrough and maybe get social IRL. Everything is solvable, especially at young age, which you evidently are.
Wow this game was pretty good and underrated,It’s not the most amazing thing I ever played, but I had a good time with it, and honestly, it was worth it. The ending? Total win-super awesome and heartwarming. 8.7 out of 10
10/10 - I'm still crying as I write this. I just still can't believe it ended. I feel sick but grateful. As much as I wish to see them grow more and know what they get up to after, I ultimately wish that the team of this masterpiece is doing well in their own projects.
I had my hiccups when I started reading it but very quickly I realized that there are very few stories that achieve what this one does. I swear that I heard the enthusiasm in Roma's voice, felt the sun shining on Kurt's forehead, felt the sea as Seth walked into it...
I found myself in every character while at the same time feeling for each of them. For the first time, I was a bright star in a system, and not random body existing in space. But as soon as the first ending screen appeared, it felt like one of my planets were ripped away, then another one, and another one...
I didn't want this story to end, and I still don't want it to. I could rant about it for hours, but playing the whole loose trilogy gave me comfort in a life I've fully spent alone, hyper focusing on finding a planetarium to miraculously light it up.
Now I see that's it's not just about that, this gave and took something from me. I don't know if it'll come back, but I'm determined to shine as bright as I can with whoever orbits next, and I can only hope that some of my stardust manages be a story as moving as this one
This is absolutely incredible, I don't think I've felt this emotionally invested in a story for a long time. Right now, I've only gotten the bad ending, and it actually made me feel sick, like I was experiencing the same thing in real life. Nothing seems unnecessary, because it all ends up coming back together, and the feeling of surprise when the plot takes a certain route you may not expect is extremely refreshing. The soundtrack does wonders in setting the mood.
This story left non-healing wound on my heart, I think that I will never be the same person. I was lost for a week after my first walkthrough, even felt sick, the feeling of missed opportunities is still with me after all. The plot've touched something really personal, and the understanding of meaningful things in my life after walkthrough was the hardest emotional blow. Yeah yeah, I was crying for 3 hours. This story left non-healing wound on my heart, there hasn't been a day, when I wasn't thinking about friendship|loneliness|love|another meaningful stuff for 17yo guy, It feels really bad but this wound also somehow gives me a strength to live and work on my life, I've started chasing dreams after Stardust Kids and I know, that I will succeed. I know I won't recover from this wound, but there's a flow of willpower and art bleeding out of it, I've even started writing music. Maybe authors wouldn't see this comment, but yeah, 11/10, I wish I didn't played this VN. And my Summer is over for now, but not forever, I think.
Hey so what happened to the hazukashii team? I can't find anything from then at all, and Their Twitter seems to be inactive although it doesn't matter as I cant read Russian
The Hazukashii Team — originally a group of artist friends that decided to make VNs. After three projects (With SK being the latest and the hardest one) they’ve decided it was time to stop for a while and chase personal things instead. Although they never broke apart as a team (And are all still good friends) — there’s no new team project in development as of now (And it’s doubtful that it’ll change any time in the future). If you want, you can find links to separate artists’ social media in the game’s “Authors” section (Just click on the icons and beware of 18+ content!).
this is actually the best story i ever read, i really wish there was more stories with Kurt and Seth.it made me cry and go through a rollercoaster of emotions... but now that it's finished... i don't know what to do anymore, this gave me comfort and happiness. i'm lost.
I want to say thanks to this VN! What happened in this VN are so real-life. It reminds me of some similar situations that I didn't try my best. Wish I learnt my lesson and had the chance to mend for it.
I was supposed to go to sleep, but nooo, I was desperate to see them guys happy. Though in the end I got all the endings, I screwed up my sleep schedule, but it was worth it. Best one from the Hazu team trilogy so far, even though I liked the wholesome romance from "I promise!" more
THIS GAME IS AMAZING, i played it in russian (my native language) and it gives such comfy vibes i just want to live in its world! this game reminds me of summer holidays and freedom... o(>ω<)o
Thank you for telling me, you're doing me a favor <3, the fandom and the game itself are beautiful gems, If only I could see how the game proceed, TwT , it's kinda sad knowing that there won't be any sequel to the game
Literally finished this beautiful VN in 1 day, I wonder if there will be anything afterward for the story, damn the story was touching and heartwarming as hell.
These novels touched me quite a bit, years ago. Still come back to check them out from time to time, glad to know they're not forgotten. (Эти новеллы довольно тронули меня еще несколько лет назад. Все еще возвращаюсь время от времени, рад знать, что они не забыты).
Thanks for waiting! I couldn't catch this bug on any of my devices, but it seems like there could be a problem in the game engine itself. There is a lot of information about similar behavior of renpy games on Android 11, especially on Samsung devices. So I have just recompiled the game with the updated renpy. Could you please remove previous version of the game, and check this new one? We will update it here if it will work for you.
The novel is very cool, I was really worried about the characters. There are hints of a relationship, but funny. It's a pity that most likely everyone will pass first to a terrible end.

Было интересно запустить эту классную игру на маленьком портативном устройстве, и в конечном итоге я смог запустить, правда версию 1.1
Увы, но как и в случае с игрой на телефоне - получать удовольствие от игры очень и очень сложно, из-за невероятно мелкого и тощего шрифта.
I hope it can be a Chinese version, although I know it is difficult, but I really want to play it😖
I can make translation to any language
But of course it won't be of the highest quality
(Especially speaking about Chinese)
Well, I know it's because of my phone, but there's an error where I can't enter or press anything because as soon as I enter, it takes me out of the novel
Hello! Could you tell me more about the error, please? Where and when does it happen?
In short: I enter the novel, I press the English button and then without pressing anything it takes me out of nowhere. Also, when I wanted to install the APK, I got a message that it was for an older version of android
I rebuilt the game with the latest RenPy version, could you check if it solved your problem?
Stardust Kids - 1.2.1 - android
It'll be installed as a separate app with a newer version.
Edit: Updated the link
If you solved the problem, I can now play and thank you very much
You're welcome, please tell me if it worked! We shall update the Itch if it did.

It hits you like a freight train emotionally with really engaging characters. Literally cried. Great writing 10 out of 10.

Oh, I believe the authors read the comments :)
Hey-hey, you were working on localization, this means at least one of those people I was writing my comment for have seen it.
This is success, small, but success
:D
It's much bigger! I notified the creators, so they all saw it. We're all honored and glad you could experience these emotions.

This game got me crying 10/10

This game has really touched my heart, it's a story that made me cry and I will allways remember. T_T
I want to say thanks to this VN! What happened in this VN are so real-life. It reminds me of some similar situations that I didn't try my best. Wish I learnt my lesson and had the chance to mend for it.
This VN is perfect!!!
Such an amazing VN, wished you guys made more stuff!
Wholesome, comfy vibes!
Its so difficult to get a good ending haha
Sadly, I can't get a good ending, and I'm not quite sure what I did wrong...
You may use a spoiler-less part of the walkthrough, if it helps! It is on the "Walkthrough" link in the description.
Played it recently it was good is liked the story. And if loved all of the characters
I was supposed to go to sleep, but nooo, I was desperate to see them guys happy. Though in the end I got all the endings, I screwed up my sleep schedule, but it was worth it. Best one from the Hazu team trilogy so far, even though I liked the wholesome romance from "I promise!" more
I will always remember
THIS GAME IS AMAZING, i played it in russian (my native language) and it gives such comfy vibes i just want to live in its world! this game reminds me of summer holidays and freedom... o(>ω<)o

We do, it's mostly in Russian, but there is an English channel too

Видел еще на anivisual несколько лет назад. Это шедеврально, как и остальные ваши работы. Спасибо!
File updated, please try again)

whew this game is hard
There is no LGBT there at all, only hints that the girl Seth loves is actually Kurt
Tag removed 👌
Eh, my hope is removed, I was hoping that I had missed something after all..
The novel is very cool, I was really worried about the characters. There are hints of a relationship, but funny. It's a pity that most likely everyone will pass first to a terrible end.
...
Thank you for making novel all these years!
