About Starshifter
Starshifter is a game about shapeshifting, desert animals and finding your place. You play as Coyote, a Guardian who must return the stars after a meteor shower knocks them from the sky and leaves the animals powerless against spirits of the night. Though Coyote has no powers, they are used to being powerless and take up the Guardian role, learning to harness a new shapeshifting ability to explore farther.
Explore the biomes
The game has four planned biomes, each home to animals including birds, deer, foxes, bison, beavers and cougars. You can talk to the animals, learn about them, help with their quests and interact with them in cutscenes. Cliffs and caves hold stars to collect throughout each biome.
Shape-shift and find stars
As you collect stars, Coyote's shapeshifting ability grows, letting you reach higher places or fly for longer. Take the form of a crow to explore high areas or a small weasel to squeeze through narrow tunnels. Return the stars to stop Darkness from spreading and earn Coyote's place as a Guardian. You can also bark.
