"Some stories are best told to none," she whispered.

Long ago, the stars disappeared. Then, a man returned them. Few would believe such a thing; fewer still can recall his name or how he bent the heavens' ears. It's a story of romance and tragedy that the stars themselves testify of to this day.

For Whom the Stars Shine is a short kinetic visual novel—a story without choices or branching paths created by New Dialog and cowritten by Pony with a Pen.
