A downloadable game

A Light-hearted puzzle adventure

  • Unearth the secrets of an island & its fascination with the comet
  • Solve puzzles
  • Talk to island inhabitants
  • Find your brother!



🏅 Nominated for Most Anticipated Game in the 2022 & 2023 Playdate Community Awards.

What Happens When a Sleepy Island is Rocked by a Comet?

When her brother goes missing after a comet fragment hits, Stella has to overcome her fear of the dark and venture out of her village into the unknown to find him.


Why is a little fishing village so captivated by the annual flyover of a comet?

Are the strange phenomena on the island related to the comet?

And how does Stella's path become intertwined with it all?


Tonight, not everything is as ordinary as it seems.

Let the Light Guide Your Path

Stella’s fear of the dark won’t stop her from finding her brother.

After night falls, use the Playdate's crank to control your lantern. Adjust the intensity of your lantern to solve light-based puzzles and navigate your way through the darkness.


Pick up a lantern and answer the call to adventure. Explore different regions of the island, solve puzzles, and talk to new characters in search of Stella's brother Mars.

Along the way you’ll gather clues from a swathe of strange characters, discover bizarre phenomena, and you might even find some hidden treasures along the way.


Celestial Sounds

A soothing soundtrack accompanies Stella's journey, composed by Kyle "Tripletritone" McAuliffe.

Meet Our Heroes


                                                   
Our protagonist, the plucky and exuberant Stella can light up a room with her personality.

Stella’s love of adventure and exploration with her nocturnal brother are only hampered by her fear of dark, a vice she sorely wants to overcome.

An explorative soul with a wandering mind, and lots of love for his little sister.

As much as Mars appreciates his humble life, he's got big ambitions. Since he can’t set out on his own just yet, he lets his imagination take him on journeys instead.

Keep up with Team Comet!

Hi, I'm sorry, I could be doing something incorrectly. Whe I attempt to sideload either file, it gives me one of those cannot find top level .pdx file. If anyone could help that'd be amazing  as I would very much love to play this game.

Hey Tyr.

Comet-P is the Pulp Prototype for the game.  The PDX should function but it’s not a finished product.

If you read the devlog you can see when the project got rebooted.

Is this the final version or what?

Why is it coming soon on Catalog?

THIS type of game is the reason I waited a little over a year for a Playdate console.  Can't wait for the release!

"Updated 68 days ago" - It's been a while.  Any ETA on the release?

Hey 5uck3rpunch.

The team pushed hard to reach that internal milestone, then I had my first child, and the rest of the team have had life going on.

Development has for sure continued since the last update. But we've not had time to write it up.

Thanks for checking in ❤
