Have you heard about Sea of Stars? The gorgeous little indie game – a knowing throwback of an RPG, peppered with all the modern quality of life updates you'd expect from a 2023 release – has been slowly broiling over in certain parts of the internet for a while.
The game, developed by Studio Sabotage, acts as a prequel to another Xbox Game Pass hit, The Messenger. As the studio's previous title was a love letter hardcore 2D platforming titles, Sea of Stars is a wistful homage to old-school RPGs – think Super Mario RPG, Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger. In the game, you play as a pair of heroes (Valere and Zale) who harness the imbibe of the sun and the moon, respectively.
It's what you'd expect from a game that takes all its cues from the golden era of pixel RPGs, and its day one sales demonstrate there is still a voracious hunger for this kind of game on the modern market. "We’re speechless. Thank you," says a tweet from the studio yesterday, as it announced a whopping 100,000 sales... in just one day.
