This isn’t a particularly big or long post, but given I’m making an attempt to have a post for each game I beat I want to get something down, even if short!

Book of Star Mythology (BoSM) is one of those fan-games I’ve known about for ages, but like all the other big ones I’ve never got round to even though I know it’s extremely good. And now I can confirm that I agree with that!

I never said I did good at it though! Tbh only 23 deaths on a first run, and the majority are stage 5+ I could probably do this as a proper 1cc on Legacy Mode, but I mostly just wanted to finally play through it despite never touching it for YEARS.

The entire soundtrack is fantastic though, like that’s probably not a surprise when the final boss theme is by Wanwan but seriously, all the composers that came together for what was originally going to be an album turned game did such a great job! Starry Wisdom hasn’t gotten out of my head since tbh :’D

I’d recommend it! It’s great! There’s an English patch as well, updated by Azure (who worked on Copy Kitty and some other damakufu scripts in the past if anyone remembers them. I do! They were rad!), so it’s really worth that look in 😀
