When Stars Collide

When Stars Collide is a science-fantasy adventure romance story. You join the crew of The Ophelia, a deep-space exploration vessel, as they uncover technology left by a nearly forgotten species. Among the recovered items is an inhabited stasis pod; retrieving it inadvertently awakens its occupant, Wil Nymera.

Wil and the crew

Wil is a young interstellar wanderer who has been asleep for nearly 500 years. After revealing that they are Veleian, Wil temporarily joins the crew, having nowhere else to go. The Veleians are an ancient species known for telepathy, advanced technology and a tendency either to guide younger races toward betterment or to obliterate them.

As Wil tries to settle in and restart a life interrupted by an unintended 500-year sleep, the crew becomes caught between ancient powers and newer factions seeking Veleian technology. A centuries-old secret buried in Wil’s mind is also at stake.

Relationships and choices

You can pursue six love interests or take a no-romance path. A small character creator lets you choose some of your main character’s physical characteristics, including hair colour and style, skin colour and pronouns.
