Can you top Neo Seattle's hero charts? Take control of unranked  Wishbright’s fate as you fake-date your choice of star-powered heroes (or even villains).  Uncover secret identities, question the ethics of capitalism, and maybe fall in love in this queer, citypop-styled visual novel!

In the neon streets of Neo Seattle, being a hero isn’t just a vocation, it’s a cut-throat industry!

Despite being on the grind for nearly two years, professional hero Wishbright is still looking for her big break. At least until her agency hatches a scheme: pair her up with another Scout in a fake relationship to drum up press and interest!

Does Wishbright have what it takes to navigate fake love and real stakes for the sake of her dream? It would certainly be easier if co-stars were not so complicated. Not to mention the enigmatic Eclipse constantly showing up to thwart Wish’s attempts to climb the charts.

With the annual Scout convention approaching, time is running out to reach the top. But in Neo Seattle, everyone has a secret — whether it's an agenda, identity, or city-shattering truth. Will Wishbright become the Number One Scout, or is her star destined to burn out?

The current demo of Starbright Agency features five character routes. The final game will feature six character routes

Our Full Game will Feature

✧ Six Character Routes

In Starbright Agency, connection is everything. This is a character-driven story where each route lets you grow close to one of six heroes: learning about their secret civilian identities, discovering their hopes and dreams outside of Star Scouting, and building intimacy together.  How that intimacy unfolds depends on the character, your choices, and the relationship you make together. 

Starbright Agency is a queer-romance based game. Without spoiling major character details, most routes explore relationships within this space. 

✧ Become the Top Scout

Make strategic choices to increase your Scout Ranking and become the number one hero in Neo Seattle. Your ranking directly impacts the story, and the choices available to you. 

✧ Get Messy on Social Media

Update your status on Astro, Neo Seattle's favorite social media platform.  Build a following, customize your profile, and post about important story events to increase your ranking and drive the story!

✧ Slide into your Favorite Character's DMs 

Receive texts from characters! Your choices will unlock additional narrative paths, scenes, and just really fun conversations. 

✧ Multiple Endings

Did I mention that your choices matter? The consequences of your actions can lead to happily ever after, professional prowess, or even the end of the world (just kidding -- or am I?) 

Glossary, Gallery, and More!

Discover the interesting and lore-rich world of Neo Seattle and Star Scouts. 

✧ Original City-Pop & Future Funk Soundtrack by 3DBlast

A banger soundtrack that you can blast while rollerblading down the streets of Neo Seattle (or you know whenever!)

I LOVE THIS GAME! I had the chance to play an early build at Otakon last year and I was blown away and this new build is even better! I love magical girl stories and Starbright Agency delivers on that and more. Starbright Agency is like a cross between Sailor Moon and My Hero Academia and it WORKS!

I love how hero work is depicted as a business (a la MHA) and how that drives the characters and their motivations. But, then you get the fun magical lore around the hero powers that is plucked straight from my fave magical girl shoujo series. 

ALL of the characters are super fun, though I'd be lying if I didn't say Ollie is my fave (I am a sucker for a cute megane in a vest). But, the real star is the heroine, Wishbright! Sis is super relatable and I adore how hilarious she can be. I CAN'T wait to play more of this game!!
