Cheers for giving Stars a listen! I know Ephemerid is far from a household name, but the soundtrack means a whole lot to me, and I'm happy that it might have a bit of a larger audience through this medium.

To touch on Charlotte's point, it is indeed a fairly short game; a playthrough will last you one-and-a-half to two hours. It's not something that'll get you fired up from a gameplay perspective (you can just sit and watch if you'd prefer for several levels), but if you have a few dollars/pounds/currency of your choosing to spare, you could do a whole lot worse.
