Rating 9/10 - "Key's Best ★ All-Ages ★ International Release | " Stella of the End is a Romance-less, Apocalyptic, Action-based: Kinetic Novel Experience(8-12hrs) that is based on a Future Earth where Humanity has lost it's Apex Predatory status after the Collapse of Peak(Sci-Fi) Human Society, due to the Over reliance of & eventual Domination by Artificial Intelligence.. Which Became Humanity's Downfall. Humankind while it may seem(somewhat) thriving during this novel's course, is actually on the verge of Extinction itself & w/Advanced Technology even being seem as taboo in some circles.. Remnants of Society rely on Couriers to get by & often to keep entire communities Afloat with their Skillsets & Often Access to Lost Technology. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3562756564 Insert our Main Character: Jude Gray - A Solo Courier who's has been given a task by a Strange Man known as the Grosvner. Whom has access to even more(Functioning) advanced technology then himself, who only communicates via Holograms & claims to be able to rebuild Humanity & Tasks Jude with the Delivery of a Lost A.E.(Advanced) Model Android abandoned encave; This Contract offers up a reward beyond Jude's wildest dreams. Little does Jude know, part of the Job is communicating with & Improving the Android's Development, to advance its capabilities that includes giving it a proper name.. Philia. Philia's Dream is to "become Human". Steam Deck Support \-/ Experience https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3560881291 [*] Completely Verified | ✅ - Key produces the only Visual Novels on Steam that offer 100% Steam Deck support | Everything works ( Now onto the rest of the review ) Why is this a 9/10? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3562756920 > Very Well Written - Given How Short this Novel is, it is surprisingly tightly written. > Excellent Worldbuilding - Starting Small: With the on-going Technology Blackout, this world consists of our known initial map(Which is out of date) & we progressively gain more details during our Journey not only about our immediate surroundings, but involving the Global Situation involving the Solo Reign of Artificial Intelligence. - Well Documented | No Information Overload: Every piece of data we learn is meaningful to the Setting, The Lives & Knowledge of People of that Era, their customs, beliefs & also all Characters regardless of Primary Status. > Extremely Well-Developed Cast - Makes good use of nearly all Characters, even "Faceless" Characters serve their purpose well > Extremely Engaging - There is never a dull moment, This is a story about the resilience of the Human Spirit The meaning behind Stella of The End is actually influenced from Latin, with Stella meaning "Star", in-context saying that Phillia is the Last Hope at the End of Humanity - Setting the Narratives Stakes quite high. It is a Kinetic Novel that just about everyone can consume, enjoy & find something meaningful-in or even just as entertaining in-between. Post-Read -|- Spoiler Section Stella of the End doesn't bombard you with embedded Philosophy, it's not making you truly question the weight of the choices made in this works(As it's not a VN anyways) & it's not making meta-commentary about our current actual relationship with Ai. With each passing Chapter, Stella of the End is Asking you if you think Philia is Human, if you don't think she's human, it asks if you tell the difference between her & a Human as the story progresses. Even if humanity dies, the machines we have created will inherit our love and create the future Jude's Decision at the end of the game, to kill Grosvner in-spite of his plan to save Humanity because it would mean Philia wouldn't be able to achieve her dreams & live as a Human. Effectively living the rest of her existence for thousands of years as a Prisoner; Post-Rapid Mental & Emotional development. Killing the Grosvener(Even if it meant dying afterwards) was the most Human Act of the Entire Novel. (Jude the moment he had to abandon his humanity for his work - refused) It was a Pure Display of Jude's Love for Philia - which follows the theme of the game above. The KN ends w/ Philia receiving Jude's Last Name.. Becoming Philia Gray / Walking her own path. Carrying his Love & Legacy.

I loved this so much, in my opinion it's by far the strongest entry of Key's "robot trilogy"! The setting and world-building are incredible and full of creative ideas, I was so invested in the lore and honestly cared about the exploration of the world and technology way more than the characters. The singularity machines interested me the most, they're so cool (honestly wish there was more content about them). The atmosphere is immaculate too, the art and music are magnificent and always manage to convey all sorts of feelings. I'd say the plot is well paced and encompasses different themes, that vary from suspenseful action, wholesome moments to pure sadness. The character interactions and development are very well written too, which gets especially evident towards the ending, that's lovely and emotional, though I really wanted to see what would've happened if the protagonist actually completed the delivery. Overall I found this VN simply beautiful and engaging!

First fiction I have ever cried to, even though I played and watched MANY emotional ones. I was definitely not expecting this. Beautiful messages, beautiful arts, beautiful soundtracks and I could go on and on. Definitely recommend it.
