I recently played an RPG called In Stars and Time that hit me surprisingly hard due to certain themes that felt painfully similar to my own experience with SDAM. It’s not an explicit portrayal of it by any means, but I would still highly recommend it for any of y’all that like RPGs. I played it on Nintendo Switch but it’s also on Steam.
Has anyone else played this game? What did you think? Are there any other games or media that have spoken to your experience with SDAM?
If you haven’t played it and are interested, I’d encourage you to try the game spoiler-free. Some spoilers below:
The specific aspect in In Stars and Time that reminded me of SDAM was >!how the main character, Siffrin, is unable to truly recall anything about where he comes from. In the game it’s played as a magical thing that prevents!< >!anyone!< >!from recalling details about his home country, but the way it impacts Siffrin (and another character) specifically… I could really feel the grief they felt over not being able to remember.!< Not to mention >!his anxiety of drifting away from his companions at the end of their adventure. I feel that every time I move to a different phase of my life (e.g. graduations or a new job).!<
