Star Crystal Warriors Go!

It’s tough fighting evil by moonlight and being an ordinary kid by daylight! Can you save your city’s dreams from monsters, halt a magical plague in its tracks, and still help your new club prepare for the best school festival ever?

“Star Crystal Warriors Go” is an interactive magical girl anime novel by Holly McMasters, with additional content by Brian Rushton. It’s entirely text-based, 250,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You were just an ordinary teenager at Northside High School—going to classes, hanging out with your friends, spending time with your dad, occasionally staying up too late watching your favorite TV show.

Then a talking animal unlocked your magical powers.

Now, thanks to the Star Crystal in your heart, you can transform into a Stellaria, a magical warrior tuned to the light of the constellations. You’re one of the very few with the power to defeat the terrifying monsters that you call Nightmares. It’s just in time, too, because Nightmares are creeping into your city, corrupting people’s dreams to weaken the veil between the Dream Kingdom and the waking world and spreading a terrible sleeping plague. If the veil falls, the Dream Kingdom will engulf reality and the Nightmares — ruled by the terrifying Empress Nyx—will take over your world.

Fortunately, you’re not alone. Your friends in the waking world will always stand by your side, and there are other Stellaria out there fighting against the Nightmares—some of whom might be closer than you think! How will you push the Nightmares out of your city? Will you strike them down with your magic, use your wits to turn them against each other, or heal the darkness in their hearts with the shining compassion in yours? 

As you learn the truth behind the Stellaria and the Nightmares, you’ll also learn the truth about your own past: your own dreams are filled with visions of a crystal castle and a love that feels like a memory. But even with the very fabric of reality at stake, you still have to go to classes, keep your grades up, and plan the school festival. How will you balance it all?

• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual.

• Customize your outfit, weapon, and the color of your magic for a truly spectacular transformation into a Stellaria!

• Wield the power of dreams! Fling sparkling colored light, animate objects, bend reality, and more! 

• Romance your loyal compassionate best friend, the new kid at school with a mysterious secret, or even a dangerously beautiful Nightmare!

• Bond with your talking animal companion.

• Uncover the mysterious past of the Dream Kingdom, cure a magical plague, and withstand the temptations of the Nightmares.

• Plan the best spring festival that your school has ever seen—if you can negotiate with the Student Council!

Will you keep your heart’s Star Crystal full of hope and defeat the Nightmares, or will you fall to despair and join the darkness?
