Welcome pupils to stargazing 101. This semester we will be teaching you about the fascinating life that inhabits the stars. We assure you that the mysterious, yet beautiful events you will observe will grab you by the heart and make real Astronomers out of you in no time! Now, let us introduce you to the tools we will be using during our course.

Add Stargaze to your wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1344820/Stargaze/).

ABOUT STARGAZE

Discover a magical galaxy inspired by Little Prince’s interstellar travels, stylized as hand-drawn book illustrations, and experience a wonderful cosmic fable in virtual reality.

Observe the life and events of the curious planets by physically manipulating your telescope. Find the proper angles and perspective to uncover their secrets. Take photos and note down your observations to complete your book of research and solve the ultimate cosmic mystery … or just sit down and chill-out stargazing.

Immerse yourself in a fable of cosmic proportions where you’re both the observer …as well as the man behind the scenes!

STARGAZE – MAIN FEATURES

BECOME AN ASTRONOMER – Make the most of your very own observatory-planet with complete scientific equipment, research journal, photographic set, and …The Telescope.
RESEARCH A GALAXY – See light years ahead into space and bend the rays of light to study planets from all the different angles. Make photos of strange phenomena. Analyze your findings in the research journal.

AWAKEN LIFE OF COSMOS – Awaken and inspire life. Decide where to focus your telescope and through its manipulation encourage change.
