Description

The steam train I jumped onto pulled out of the darkness of the night, and ran beneath the starry sky.

It's been a good trip. I was right to have taken this tour.

A pleasant night breeze blew as I continued my carefree solitary journey. I met kind passengers and a cute conductor. As well as... a girl with cat ears?

What will this journey leave behind inside of her?
And what might it give to me?

<report>The plot, the characters and the painting style are all impeccable. Although it is an all-ages work, there is no sense that anything is missing. However, it is worth noting that this game does not have many romantic components.

As for the inadequacies, the heroine's mood change at the end is somewhat unnatural. Also, this UI is too rudimentary in 2020 - which is why I deducted 0.5 points.

PS: I always like Kazamata Neri!

<report>Short and sweet story with lovely art from Shiratama-sensei. The setting is shrouded in a fairytale-esque mystery, and as we learn more about the characters and what really is going on it's rather easy to get hooked and invested in the story. It's fairly consistent, doesn't take any more time than necessary to get to the point, and very easy to read with the just the right amount of emotion.

The VN engine is quite basic with limited options and features and one extremely annoying "feature" where you can't advance the text while an animation is playing. But given the short length and that it's a doujin release that can be excused somewhat.

<report>Great story wtih good arrangement, the world and character illustrated by shiratama can only discribed by exquisite and splendid. The way plot growing is easy to guess, but the end of the story is still moving. It is true that a visual novel have to do something very good to gain audience recognition without any R-18 content, and indeed, 星空鉄道とシロの旅 did it.

<report>Hoshizora Tetsuto to Shiro no Tabi— literally translated as A Stellar Rail and the Trip of White— is a mediocre visual novel. It is not recommended to play this visual novel, unless you do not care about the reasonability of setting or you have plenty of time to waste. Barely its plot could be called outstanding. However, its settings contradict the intentions of its plot. Though its graphic performance is above mediocre, this inconsistency fundamentally reduces the overall performance.

There are two worlds involved in the story: one imaginary world of Yohane Mashiro’s inside and a more realistic world. However, the word realistic here is only a relative phrase; it never means that the... Read more »
