A Rite from the Stars twinkles with charm and moments of artistic beauty, but fails to fully shine due to a devastating control system and some unrefined gameplay mechanics.

About
Welcome to the Mystical Island of Kaikala, home to the Makoa tribe, and Kirm, a young mute boy who must overcome a rite of passage to leave his childhood behind. Chosen by the Stars to become a legend among his peers, Kirm's rite will neither be ordinary nor easy as he masters the three paths of Wisdom, Courage, and Spirit. Guided by his guiding star Hoku, his Power Meerkat companion Mirk, and his own cleverness, bravery, and devotion, Kirm knows he can complete his Rite from the Stars and take his place among his people.

Critic reviews
- 6.0There's a strong sense of identity and the non-linear approach to progression adds a degree of novelty to each playthrough, but there's a distinct lack of an identifiable difficulty curve, alongside some rather hit or miss puzzles. A Rite from the Stars is worth playing through at least once, if only to appreciate how rich Makoan culture is, but it fails to improve upon the point-and-click genre in any substantial way.
