Starweaver Express: Per Aspera Ad Astra is a narrative-driven adventure set around Hoshiori Academy. Through the eyes of transfer student Ueshima Tsubaki, you uncover secrets woven through symbolism and metaphor by touching tickets that reveal fragmented stories. These include the Literature Club’s lighthearted daily life, a mysterious galactic train, a girl’s recurring dreams, and strange rumors about butterflies and Joan of Arc. The story takes an estimated 10–12 hours.

The characters

Ueshima Tsubaki is a gentle, kind-hearted transfer student with an otherworldly air and strict views on etiquette. Given to flights of fancy, she often lets her thoughts slip out. She is good at caring for others but unconsciously keeps them at a distance, while yearning for genuine friendship.

Hoshino Suzuno is a quiet, enigmatic girl who speaks in phrases that sound like cryptic codes. She also has a twisted streak: she might “accidentally” kill a goldfish if she came across a fish tank.

Noogi Ria, president of the Literature Club, is whimsical, emotional and dramatic. She loves acting and harmless pranks. Sasamoto Riona is a graceful, calm and distant “tragic beauty” who spends much of her time indoors reading or playing piano. Though she seems cold, she opens up to Ria, and her sharp retorts can bring Ria back down to earth.

Music and atmosphere

The game features a dreamlike art style and an original soundtrack of over 60 tracks by composer 10lulu. As the truth draws near and the sound of the approaching train returns, Tsubaki faces a choice.
