I want to play isat (I heard of it because of your blog)! I know NOTHING about it. I've literally only ever seen it on your blog. What should I know before playing it? Like, any good info, potential scary or upsetting things in the game, anything interesting (I am too scared to look up stuff online Lest the Spoilers)
WAAAAAA IM SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOURE INTERESTED!!! YIPPEEEE
as for stuff to know ahead of time, yes there are a few content warnings i would consider before heading in!! this excerpt is taken from the official in stars and time website:
the website provides elaborations on all of the major content warnings, so if it’s a difficult subject for you, you can gauge whether you’d be comfortable or not. if anything listed above is potentially a major stressor for you, i strongly recommend checking out the explanation on the website for that specific aspect before hopping in!!
as for interesting things! i have a couple small notes:
the game features multiple instances of explicit queer representation amongst both main and background characters!! one instance of this representation is a conversation between an asexual character and an aroace character that made me tear up from how seen i felt while experiencing it
the worldbuilding in the game is fantastic. i LOVED the tidbits of information we got on all the different fictional cultures present in the game, both the good sides and the bad. it also deeply explores how one’s culture influences and shapes one as a person from multiple angles, positive and negative alike
there used to be one singular bird in dormont that peeped in english instead of piou-ing in french but it got removed :( farewell sweet peeper
here’s some really good screenshots of various peoples’ discord liveblogs of the game at various points (including my own):
