Gameplay.
"Hoshi wo Miru Hito" is a science fiction role playing game. It is known for its very difficult gameplay, and elements that make the game confusing and cryptic. For example, at the beginning of the game, the player is put into the field map without any explanation on any goals, and the entrance to the first town the player needs to visit is not displayed on the field map at all. At the beginning of the game, there is no ability to escape from battle. However, later in the game the player will level up and learn an extrasensory perception skill that allows to escape battles.
In the early part of the game, there is only a single way to restore health, which is a single spot within the first town.
Game over occurs when all the players characters reaches zero hit points. Early in the game, it's very easy to die due to highly powerful enemies, but later in the game the player's characters become strong enough that it's very difficult to kill the entire party.
