About this game
After building some satellite cities as a test, the Earth is finally terraforming its first colony, the planet Alaya.
Tirs Abril has always dreamt of going to space, and now he's determined to take part in the colonization. Following his dream, he's currently studying the last year of Environmental Engineering in college.
After breaking up with his boyfriend, he finally finds his sought-after chance: working as a scholarship researcher with Professor Marc Rossell, a prominent figure in the field of Environmental Engineering, and right now in charge of building the dome that will cover the inhabitable part of Alaya. However, Tirs soon will find out things are more complicated than he thought and his path won't be precisely a rose garden.
How much is Tirs willing to sacrifice to pursue his dream? What risks or actions is he going to deem acceptable to achieve his goal? Will he reconsider his options or advance as an unstoppable force, no matter what? His decisions are up to you!

Chasing the Stars Soundtrack Available
After many people asked about the original music of the game, I've decided to make the soundtrack available! Until now, it was a perk for the Kickstarter backers and my lovely supporters on Patreon, but from now on you can download the original mp3 songs, the video opening, and the video trailer from itchio and Steam. The revenues of the music will go to Door Studios and MyëVe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32836058/a231927272a20cdda0fe8eef5779f109b64ac66c.pngRead full article on Community Announcements (Ertal Games)AnnouncementsOfficial
