A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition heading to Nintendo Switch

Publisher Artax Games, in collaboration with developer Flying Beasts Labs, have announced A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition for Nintendo Switch. We’ll be seeing it on January 30, 2025.

A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition is an improved, made-from-scratch version of the 2018 title. The 3D point-and-click adventure game involves young Kirm’s rite of passage from kid to adult, aided by the Guiding Star Hoku. This version features updated graphics, better controls, and redesigned puzzles.

More information about the game can be found in the following overview:

A legend is born when the stars descend on Kaikala Island and choose a young boy of the Makoa tribe to guide him through the ancient rites. But something out of the ordinary is happening, fewer and fewer young ones pass the rite that allows them to leave childhood behind, and some guiding stars have not returned to the firmament…

Join Kirm and his guiding star Hoku on this adventure full of puzzles, exploration and growth to unveil a beautiful coming of age story with multiple endings. Meet unique supernatural creatures and new companions along the way, cooperate with them and conquer the wisdom, courage and spirit paths!
