A live survival audition is interrupted when the broadcast studio collapses, trapping contestants and crew beneath the rubble. As they wait for rescue, a murder turns the crisis into an investigation. You follow a survivor trying to understand what happened and whom to trust.
The story unfolds through conversations with the other survivors. You choose topics and responses, gather clues, and follow in-game social media and timeline updates that show public reactions and may offer leads. Dialogue choices can affect relationships and the protagonist’s mental state.
Choices shape the story’s branches, with multiple routes, endings, and additional story material to uncover across playthroughs. The presentation combines illustrated characters with 3D environments, alongside Korean and Japanese voice acting.
Players who enjoy BURIED STARS often point to its character writing, suspenseful atmosphere, artwork, and voice performances. Some also appreciate how the social media feed portrays public reactions during a crisis. Opinions differ on the mystery itself, while many reviews criticize the repeated keyword conversations and the friction of replaying routes; translation quality is another recurring concern.
