BURIED STARS

A mystery adventure set at the collapse site of a live survival audition show. Trapped contestants communicate with each other—and the outside world through social media—as they wait for rescue. But as unexpected events unfold, trust begins to crack, and survival becomes far more complicated.

About this gameFull description from Steam
A brutal murder inside a collapsed broadcast studio. Uncover the hidden truth through Communication x Survival x Adventure. Buried Stars is a mystery adventure game from Studio LARGO—the creators of the beloved Korean titles Panic Room and City of Mist—in collaboration with LINE Games. Murder at a Survival Audition Gone Wrong During a live broadcast of a survival audition show, the studio building suddenly collapses. Trapped beneath the rubble, the remaining contestants and crew face something even more terrifying: a murder among them. Who is the culprit? Why did this happen? And how? Striking Visual Presentation with 3D x 2D Harmony Dynamic 2D character illustrations are blended into detailed 3D environments to create an atmospheric and cinematic visual experience. Immersive Gameplay through Social Media Mechanics Keep track of real-time public reactions via the in-game “Social Media” and “Timeline.” These systems not only deepen the immersion but also provide crucial hints to help uncover the truth. Branching Scenarios and Multiple Endings Your dialogue choices and actions shape the story. With multiple routes, endings, and hidden stories, each playthrough reveals new truths—and new fates for the survivors. Powerful Soundtrack and Performances Dive into the emotional intensity of the story with an original soundtrack, environmental sound design, and the gripping main theme, “Be Honest.” Stellar Voice Acting in Korean and Japanese Featuring passionate performances by seasoned voice talent from both Korea and Japan: Korean Cast Park Sungtae, Ryu Seunggon, Nam Dohyoung, Kim Yeonwoo, Kim Haru, Lee Kyoungtae, Lim Yoonsun, and more Japanese Cast Tetsuya Kakihara, Takuya Eguchi, Hiro Shimono, Yoko Hikasa, Rina Sato, Soichiro Hoshi, Eri Kitamura, and more
