A guy showing his date the stars is classic romance territory, but there's something creepy and opportunistic about it too. And he wants you to look too.Īnd therein lies the crux of the game, and also the point where I'd say Polaris triumphs and stumbles in equal measure.

He doesn't seem to be making a move on you - he's just looking at the stars. There is tension, but not necessarily sexual - more the strange unknowing of His intentions. You're in a moonlit forest, with Him sitting casually on a bench, and acoustic guitar lilting from an iPod. On this first of several mooted episodes, this one known as Polaris, you're on a date - a cheap and crappy date, in the unseen protagonist's own words. Oh, and it also teaches basic astronomy to boot.
