Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet is a Japanese post-apocalyptic visual novel developed by Key and is rated for all ages. The story centers on a middle-aged man who comes across a malfunctioning robot in a dead city. The man, known simply as "the junker", stays with this robot for a time and attempts to fix the projector of the planetarium where the story takes place.
"Why don't you come to the planetarium? The beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter what. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you." It is thirty years after the failure of the Space Colonization Program. Humanity is nearly extinct. A perpetual and deadly Rain falls on the Earth. Men known as "Junkers" plunder goods and artifacts from the ruins of civilization. One such Junker sneaks alone into the most dangerous of all ruins -- a "Sarcophagus City". In the center of this dead city, he discovers a pre-War planetarium. And as he enters he is greeted by Hoshino Yumemi, a companion robot. Without a single shred of doubt, she assumes he is the first customer she's had in 30 years. She attempts to show him the stars at once, but the planetarium projector is broken. Unable to make heads or tails of her conversation, he ends up agreeing to try and repair the projector...

planetarian may be a short story, but it is one that sticks with you in the back of your mind for a very long time. I still remember when I first finished planetarian years ago. It is as soul-crushing as it is beautiful, and the impact still holds up against the best of Key's catalogue critically acclaimed visual novels. Thematically, it shares many ties to Key's most recent game Rewrite, which could be interpreted as an attempt at expanding upon the themes introduced in this game in a grander narrative. With that in mind, I would definitely recommend the two as complimentary to each other. If you're perhaps new to visual novels in general, then planetarian is definitely a good place to start. It demonstrates some of the very best of what visual novels have to offer in a tiny package; a small taste of what you can look forward to in the world of visual novels. It's also serves as a great
It's a nice & sweet short story I've read. Planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~ is made by the legendary company "Key", well known for creating Angel Beats!, Clannad and Little Busters! anime series. This game will guaranteed to touch you with the feels and make you cry. Good points - Fantastic character development & interactions between the two unique characters - The junker guy & Yumemi the gentle robot. - Very well presented that will easily set your mind into the wonderful world of Planetarian. - Delightful soundtrack & story. I love the soundtrack especially Gentle Jena, one of my favorite songs. The melody is so touching and charming. Listen to this piece & you'll be blown away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR4dw_B423E - Beautiful illustrations. Yumemi looks pretty adorable & I like how it's suits her personally well.
A VN by 'key' and one of the leading VN developers in the world makes a VN that will make you cry at the end, assuming you actually cry because this is VN are by the same people who made Clannad, Air, Kanon, Little Busters (All great VNs and animes). It does show its age (this VN was made 10 years ago) when you play the game and the 'save' function isn't great either, you only get 5 save slots, so you have to overwrite your saves quite a lot. The story is set in the future after the "failure of the Space Colonization Program". It is a post-apocalyptic novel involving only 2 main characters "Mr. Customer" aka "The Junker" and Yumemi Hoshino aka the robot. There is no "choose your on route/story" in this VN, its a direct story with no choices. Graphics As you'd expect, this a pretty old VN, so graphics isn't its strong point here. It has basic drawn images and the animation is limited.
-Finished the game. -Immediately search for Planetarium within the city. -Can't find one... -Looked up into the night sky. -Saw 2 stars. -Start crying. Thanks Key, not only I can't eat dango and watch baseball without feeling sad. Now I can't even look at the night sky the same way. P.S: Buy this game on Steam if it's 75% off sale, unless you want to support the publisher/developer. The game is only 5 hours long at most, and you can get it much cheaper on Itune store (It seems that not all Itune Store has the English ver, I know for sure that the Canadian Itune store has the English ver)
This is the story of a robot and a very small piece of a town, mostly untouched by time while a holocaust has already decimated everything around them. A lone human, a "junker", arrives on the scene, risking his life to find something worthwhile to sell. Well, there isn't a single thing of worth where the robot resides... at least, not from his first impression. And so the story begins. After reading this kinetic novel (meaning no choices, just read) for about an hour, I never would have guessed I'd write a positive review. In fact, I almost didn't want to keep reading. Soooo many things annoyed me. The robot is a complete chatterbox and grated on my nerves. But I kept reading anyway. The human SHOULD have left to find the food he was quickly running out of but he stayed for..... no logical reason I could tell. Why? So dumb. But I kept reading. The main music bugged me because I didn't
「Planetarium wa ikaga deshou? Donna toki mo kesshite kieru koto no nai, utsukushii mukyuu no kirameki. Manten no hoshiboshi ga, minna sama wo machishiteimasu!」 -Hoshino Yumemi Planetarium is a kinetic novel developed by Key (best known for Kanon, Air, Clannad & Angel Beats). What first served as a game tester for Kinetic format turns out to be a hit sales when it was released back in 2004. I have played this novel over again and again on multiple platform yet the warm feeling of this novel still stucks in the back of my head like I just played it yesterday. The feeling that you get from this novel is overwhelming and the soundtrack delivers an epic blow alongside with the story. The graphic, while it is from 2004 is quite good and the design is also detailed. Planetarian is a VN that I would always recommend to my friend who wants to try the VN medium as this VN is delivers such a g
