"Dont split heaven in two ..."

It is thirty years since a world war put an end to space development.
Most of the human race is dead and incessant rain falls on the surface of the Earth.
The Junk Hunter earns his living from scavenging precious supplies from abandoned cities.
The Junk Hunter infiltrates a Sealed City, reputed to be the most dangerous places on Earth. In the center of the city, he discovers a pre-war Planetarium.
Here he is greeted by the companion robot, Yumemi Hoshino.
She sincerely believes that he is her first customer in thirty years.
She invites him on a "voyage to the stars," but the Planetarium projector malfunctions.
After a succession of disjointed conversations, the Junk Hunter grudgingly agrees to fix it.

The kinetic novel - a thrilling new form of entertainment. It is neither novel, nor animation, nor game…
With the highest quality scenario, graphics, music and direction, it achieves a whole new dimension of realism and pathos for the lead characters.

The PC and mobile telephone version of "planetarian - Dream of Little Star" achieved sales of over 50,000. Now it is back to be enjoyed on your iPhone and iPad.

Pros and cons of planetarian 〜ちいさなほしのゆめ〜 app for iPhone and iPad

planetarian 〜ちいさなほしのゆめ〜 app good for

Hoping for some more titles from Key to be translated soon :)
Not one of Keys best works, but that is hardly a fair criticism. Certainly worth more than a few dollars, and as emotionally evocative as always. However, the English translation is sloppy. Typos are far too frequent for a professional work, and some of the phrasing is awkward: even the title should be written as "Dream of a Little Star", which shows that the quality checking is inferior and the only reason I docked a star.
As a matter of fact, I have never written a review for any app until I came upon this one. If you have grown tired of playing Candy Crush, Doodle Jump and Temple Run, then I definitely recommend you try this game(its more like a novel actually).it has great pictures and soundtracks. The story is sad yet it strikes a cord in my heart. Most importantly, the character development is amazing!!! Two hours into the game, Im already in love with the female protagonist. Last but not least, I rate and comment the game at my own will, not that any one invited or asked me to do it.
Amazing story!!! An excellent app at a very reasonable price. Everyone just has to read this. You wont regret it! A very emotive story with beautiful graphics and music. I am very impressed that Visual Arts released this official English translation. I hope this is just the first of many official translations to come. Will definitely keep supporting any future releases.
A Heart-wrenchingly beautiful story itself couldnt be any better. Plus, graphics and music are more than satisfactory. To my regret, there are many errors left in the english text. For example, in Chapter 12, the follwing sentence should end with " the speed of sonic" rather than just "the speed." "He possessed the ability to fire various shells with insulated coating over long distances faster than the speed."
The anime is gonna have 5 eps and I just couldnt wait any longer. This visual novel made everything better, all of the detail and translation are perfect. The background music,the characters, and the music. Another masterpiece from Key

Some bad moments

Cant believe that Planetarian has officially been released in English. Thank you!!! <3 Key
So great to see a translated English visual novel. Looks and runs great.
Thank you so much for releasing this in English! The story was very touching. The art and music was very well composed as expected from any Key release. The surreal and mysterious atmosphere and mood is very much characteristic of your works. I hope to see more of Keys works in English in the future.
I thought I was dreaming seeing a Key visual novel being translated into English. This is a great story and would LOVE to see more VNs in the future.
Bought this immediately when I found out it was released. Not just a visual novel translated to English, but an official translation of a Key novel? Hopefully this hints at future translations. As for an actual review, this is a short story, a few hours long. Its simple, but very emotional.
I bought this as soon as I saw it was available. This is an incredible visual novel and one that certainly shouldnt be missed. I look forward to future English releases from Key!
