About this product

Play as Doctor Simon Forman, unlicensed medical professional and astrologer, and help him win a medical license. Astrologaster is a narrative-based comedy game. Explore Forman's life, his work, and his relationships with his clients. Make story choices by performing astrological readings. Choose strategically, or make decisions just for fun, but be aware that your choices will have consequences (and unpredictable side effects). 13 clients come to see you 5-7 times seeking advice for personal, professional, and medical problems. By examining the stars in the sky, you diagnose and determine answers for your clients' problems. As well as affecting the story line, these choices will alter your clients' satisfaction levels. Satisfied clients will write you letters of recommendation, and with enough of these letters you can obtain a medical license from the University of Cambridge. So-called real (licensed) doctors call Forman a charlatan and fraud. Help Forman prove these medical establishment elitists wrong.

Features

  • Perform real astrology - Examine the sky, and choose astrological interpretations that Forman will use to advise his patients. But remember: astrology is not an exact science.

  • Solve hilarious problems - Consult on problems ranging from Elizabethan terror plots and foul diseases to romantic entanglements and stolen pies.

  • Change lives - Win your patients' favor, or ruin their lives. Advise 14 characters who return 5-7 times. Patients have their own ongoing stories, which often overlap with each other. Use gossip from some characters to guide and manipulate others.

  • Win a medical license - Convince patients to write letters of recommendations. Collect enough letters to exchange them for a medical license.

  • Fully voiced character dialog - Sitcom-style comedy brought to life by a cast of over a dozen actors. Sing along: enjoy Renaissance-era music, and sing along to each character's theme song.

  • Casebooks come alive - Simon Forman's cases are presented as a beautiful pop-up book. Turn pages to delve deeper into your patients' stories.

  • The story

    London, 1592. A great plague sweeps through the capital. When doctors flee the city in fear, a hero rises. His name is Simon Forman, Doctor of Astrology, Astronomy, and Physics.

  • Not only does he have the power to cure the sick, he can find their lost pets and predict their futures. All by reading the movements of the stars.

  • But when the plague ends, Forman's problems begin. The real doctors return to London, and they will stop at nothing to bring him down.

  • Summary

    Astrologaster is a story-driven astrological comedy game set in Shakespeare's London. Based on a true - and truly ridiculous - story.

  • Simon Forman was considered a sage by some and a charlatan by others. What will your legacy be? Will you put your faith in the stars?

  • A Nintendo Switch Online membership may be required for online play. Please check the game detail page at nintendo.com for membership requirements.

    Save your time and money.

    I was immediately unimpressed with this game, but continued to play hoping it would somehow payoff. I was wrong and wasted several hours of my life, do not buy.
