The Star Game

Aboard Nova Haven orbital academy, a tradition unfolds in the six days before the Star Festival: students leave anonymous challenges for each other, signed only with a blue star. You possess a rare ability to sense emotional "echoes" on objects, and this makes you a natural detective. But you're not the only player—anyone could have left that cryptic note or hidden that puzzle box. Analyze digital fingerprints, DNA traces, retinal scan logs, and emotional imprints to unmask the challengers. Guess correctly at the Star Gala and win a unique, personal gift from the one who dared you. Guess wrong, or be too slow, and the prize goes to someone else. (To enable auto cards, simply remember the falls on True) Students of Nova Haven: Yuna — The astronomer. Quiet, calm, always on the observation deck mapping distant suns. She speaks softly but notices everything. Her family designed the station's telescope array. Rumour says she's naming a star after someone she lost. Riko — The transfer student. Arrived six months ago from a station nobody's heard of. Keeps to herself, eats alone, answers questions with questions. But her eyes are sharp, and she seems to know things before they happen. Kazuki — Your best friend since orientation. Loud laugh, terrible at keeping secrets, always dragging you to zero-gravity sports. Lately, though, something's off. He laughs too fast, changes the subject when you ask how he's doing. Haruto — The gardener. You'll find him in the hydroponic dome at 5 a.m., talking to the plants. He claims they grow better when you listen to them. Gentle hands, patient smile, and a past he doesn't discuss. Miyu — The musician. Her songs drift through the station corridors at odd hours — always original, always haunting. She composes on a worn synthesizer covered in stickers. People say her music makes them feel things they can't name.
